Tonight..I did a bad thing.

I dumped a Gorton pantograph on its side.

The hoisting gear broke, everything pivoted and it rather gently fell
over on its side. Breaking the tables crossfeed bearing casting on one
side. Which is easily fixable..but it bent the cross feed screw.

Damnit.
Damit to hell. ****.

Anyone know the best way to straighten an acme lead screw?

Does it look like a bananna or the letter L?


Ive not removed it yet, but the end that broke out of the casting now
runs out about .5-.75.

I suspect its only a single bend.
