Hi Guys, has anyone changed their crosslide spindle and nut lately
I bought in America a length of thread and a new nut and you just cut drill and ream then machine the other down to make a snug fit then you pin together
So I am chasing just the spindles or to be more precise the gear section on the bottom slide and a complete top crosslide spindle
I threw the old ones away as they were so worn but lucky me never read the ad correct and what I got is 300mm of threaded shaft and a new nut
So has anybody held onto their old spindles as I would be happy to get just any spindle worn or any condition so long as it has the gear drive for the cross feed as the model C never had that option
Hoping someone can help me out as the end is in site after 13 Months and mutiple modifications it looks like a lathe
Sohas anybosy got some old spindles ?????
