Hello,
I just tried to mount my nice new acme nut assemblies on this cute little CNC table I have. One of the original nuts was made of nylon or something, and shattered. I machined new nuts out (it's a weird design) and tapped away, and to my horror, they did NOT fit at all. OOps.... The screw was a 2 start and I had no idea! So now, I really feel like I ought to get a 2-start tap, but I can't find one!!!! The other, far less desirable option is to get a new single start screw and replace the one thats in there now, with which there is absolutely NOTHING wrong.
RAARARAR!!
Does anybody know where I can get a 2 start 1/2 x 10 (being 5 turns per inch) acme tap set? The nuts are Delrin, so I don't need coated cobalt or anything fancy. Mcmaster and MSC don't seem to have them.
Thanks!
Andy
