    lead screw nut repair

    If your lead screw nuts are just sloppy, you can usually split them and take up the slack with the retaining screw. See the Bridgeport operators manual in the
    http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/grou...mill_manuals1/
    for a photo. The file should be labeled Operators manual 1981, and the diagram of the table shows where to split the X-axis nut (somewhere in the middle). I have also seen a technique where the nut is split about 80% through and the retaining screw forces the gap to close. I think the full split nut would be better since it should wear more evenly.

    I'm not sure if it will work, this machine that I need the nuts for isn't a Bridgeport and some parts vary among the original Bridgeport.
