cross slide feed nut help

jangel · Nov 25, 2020

I have a 1912 South bend appears to be a 16" and the slide nut has some slop in it. I see a bunch of them on Ebay, but none of them look correct. Mines 2" long and appears to have 11/16" left hand threads with a 3/4" mounting stem? with a 3/8 threaded hole. Any idea where I can get a replacement?

You're not just going to buy that, highly unlikely anyway. Confirm its 11/16-8 LH acme thread.

You can buy that tap yourself and some 932 bronze to make it.

Or contact the guys making regular 16 crossfeed nuts. They atleast have the tap, or a setup to cut that thread. Send them your nut, pics, dimensions whatever. They'll work it out. But cost as a one off will be higher.

The screw probably is worn too, but a nut will help.
