wanting to buy nut for cross feed screw and nut for compound feed screw. bought this lathe at auction and cannot find either nut in the box of things that came with the lathe.
 
Make one, starting with the compound slide nut. Set an indictor on the cross slide and use it to carefully advance the slide by hand. Lock this slide with the stop each pass since the screw won't be doing any work. It may be crude but no big deal, now you have a somewhat functional top slide. With x-slide locked into position you can use your compound to feed the tool per normal practice.

It won't be quick, but I bet it'll be faster than finding a pair of these nuts and loads cheaper.
