Finally getting back to this project. I want to make sure I have the lathe set up to make a prototype nut out of aluminum so I've attached a sketch showing how I've got the lathe set up. This is an internal right hand threaded acme nut.
I need to grind some more nose relief on the bit since as is the bottom of the tool bit will hit the workpiece. It's at about 10 degrees now and my CAD program says I need it to be closer to 15 degrees.
