So my 68 10ee had originally had the taper attachment with it but during a move or something when I acquired it the taper attachment was not there. Therefore it has the expandable lead screw on the cross-slide which has in the past and now given me a few problems when it comes to threading or even turning from the backside. I believe that this is non-uniform pressure is causing the lead screw to vary in length which is giving erratic readings on the DRO and also unpredictable depth of cuts. Has anyone been in this situation and made a bracket or secured the lead screw together somehow to cure this problem. If I'm off base on what's causing this issue please chime in.
Thanks,
Nick
