Hi All,
My first thread in this forum, will try not to cock it up.
Looking to source a 7/16" ACME Left Hand threaded tap of 10 threads per inch,to manufacture a bronze nut for a lathe crossfeed screw. I think I could get one from US, but thought I'd try OZ first.I can buy the nut new off the shelf, but there is nothing to it, and the price a little over the top.
I've also considered making a tap using the old feedscrew thread , but a HSS tap would be better still.
Thanks in advance,
garf
