I think I'll try to make some 29 degree and 30 degree gauges out of sheet metal in an attempt to find out what type of thread these lead screws are. I'd much rather make new nuts to fit the existing lead screws if I can. I hate that my mill is going to be down and out for some time but I'm glad I decided to check the nuts prior to deploying the X power feed. Just rambling here.

Just a thought, but wouldn't a standard fishtail gauge tell a story? go/no-go?
If you mean one of these than I'm not sure how that would help me measure an acme thread.
Maybe I'm missing something, probably am.
