Q: What is the thread size of the depth stop on a Bridgeport mill? My drill press has similar flat sided rod on it that makes it a pain to adjust the stop nuts. Because of the interrupted threads the nuts won't spin freely and there is no quick way to move them up and down the rod.
I'm thinking replacing the rod with a full diameter threaded rod and using a Bridgeport "quick adjust" clamp would make things a whole lot easier?
