Help...I need one of these. The one in my lathe is wasted. I contacted
Southbend and they want like $995 for a new screw and nut. THe screw is
bent but straightenable if I can get a nut. Anybody know of another
source ? Or help point me in the direction of making one ? I have done
threading on a lthe a couple of times..but it has been awhile. I have a
nice 10" sheldon to use to make the nut on.

PLease help...

Lood here to see how I did a similar repair. But instead of one lathe
I had (as I recall) 6 that needed repair. All the lathes are still
working fine four years later.
