Was tied up with a few Christmas things (humbug) but stole some time today to grind a cutter and this evening cut the acme thread. Even at 100 rpm that carriage is hard to stop at 5 tpi.
Wish I knew what this steel was, machines to a respectable finish and seams quite hard.
Need to cut a 1 mm pitch thread on the other end to lock the thrust bearings, and a small keyway.
Soon have the old girl back in good health.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
