As part of this rebuild thread:
http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/south-bend-lathes/early-10l-rebuild-teardown-inspection-290320/
I bought a new compound nut and the compound screw I have doesn't fit in it.
And I am pretty sure an SB compound screw is not faced like this:
That could mean (I guess) that:
a) the size changes over the years and my 1941 is not the same as the year of my new nut
b) my screw and nut are shop made - which is a possibility as the tail stock quill is, and maybe also the screw and nut there.
So ... before I go and buy a new compound screw I'd best make certain that the bore through my compound rest bushing and (small) dial has not been messed with.
Anybody got a 10L small dial compound screw handy to measure the diameter of the non threaded section?
Many thanks.
Greg.
