Great thread John. Must be very nice to have another mill on hand while doing repairs to this one, has me wondering how I can raise the suggestion with my wife of buying another mill so I can get the one I've just bought up to scratch. She is convinced that the only use for a lathe and milling machine is to make parts for the lathe and milling machine.
I was going to ask why you used socket-head capscrews on one end of the feed nut and hex bolts with washers at the other end; am I right in thinking that one half of the nut is indexable to adjust backlash?
