Did some searching here and elsewhere and couldn't find a definitive answer.
I need to make a new nut for the knee on my mill. The thread is 7/8" x 10 TPI LH acme.
I know 932 (SAE 660) is probably the "standard" material but is there something better? I'm seeing 954 aluminum, 863 manganese , 630 nickle aluminum , 642 silicone aluminum and 655 silicone bronze.
Any idea what the higher end machines use from the factory?
