Hello,
Can't find an artcle where writer was making acme/trapezoidal srew and made a tap (to make nuts) on the same go. It is the making of the tap that mystifies me most. Not having a TCG and all.
I'm pretty sure I saw this article some time ago when I was looking something else, but can't find it on HH index or on my pile of MEW mags.
Found only this on HH index (not what I was looking for!):
171 48 LATHE WORK A BEGINNERS COURSE6 SQUARE AND ACME THREADS M BRYMER
My long term project is to make a cross slide and considering buying normal RH 12 – 16 mm OD, 3 – 4 mm lead trapetzoidal screw and nuts to go, but I'm also looking for an alternative ways to make some.
I need LH for a cross slide (if I go there…..) and RH for a compound. I just got thinkking that if I have 2.5mm lead on cross slide, 4mm lead on top slide might feel funny and make thimbles pretty big.
Help opinions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pekka
