Vice restoration
Hi all .. I need to reproduce this nut for a vintage vice I am working on.. thread diameter is 7/8" or 22.2 mm.. pitch is just over 4 turns to the inch..
a couple of questions,.. because of the mystery number of turns.. how would you set up your lathe to cut this thread ?
secondly... as it is brass, would it be possible to cast the nut around the screw, using the screw as a mandrel ??
Like all projects, is it going to be worth the effort in the long run..
Ken.
