I'm splitting my feed nuts due to the very large and very annoying amount of backlash. I've bottomed out the adjustment screws as well. Y axis was a simple but the X axis nut will not come out. I'm trying to avoid removing the table if I can. I've tried pulling, prying, and using the lead screw to pull against the nut to try and get it out with no luck. The original adjustment screw was replaced by a hack job and the set screw was also missing. Anyone have any fixes for this besides heating up the feed nut housing? Don't want to go heating up cast iron but I don't see many options.
Also, anyone have a hardware fix for replacing the lock and set screws without having to order them? They are pricy for what they are.
