My 2 thoughts.

[1]Its the kind of thing I'd ask YOU

This is actually the first time Ive encountered this sort of problem.

[2] If it is a common pitch use nuts while working it to avoid over bending
[breaking] it. Maybe cut them in half and clamp with them something like
that.....

There is an idea.

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?
