I recently bought a myford ML10, im working through the problems with the lathe,and my next stumbling block is the lead screw, its metric and LH, and worn in the middle.The half nuts are worn out too, but i can buy those, so no problem.The lead screw is usable, but far too much slop on it so it needs addressing. Its about 15.87mm outside diameter and a metric pitch of 3mm.
Ive found this product ,and wondered if anybody had used it as a substitute?.I can machine it down to size so thats not a problem.
This guy has given me the idea
This is the part.Thanks fellas.
