I tackled the acme nut this afternoon and it turned out reasonably well. I had to go past the depth that a 10TPI Acme thread is supposed to be but there's no reason to believe the lead screw is made to the spec. I need to take a close look at the thread and how it fits to be sure I didn't screw something up. It's a light, snug turning fit. The bronze is supposed to show up tomorrow. Any tips on threading bronze, other than pray?
