This is on an EE10, 1942.
The bronze nut for the top slide has a threaded hole, but nothing threaded in. The hole does not go all the way through to the compound screw. It looks suspiciously like some kind of adjustment for backlash. I presume my lathe is missing something. Any thoughts on what should be there and how it is used? Photos appreciated in case I need to make something.
Thanks,
