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?

The trouble with bending a screw is that you'll often deform the
thread shapes. If the bend is in a threaded area, then just putting the
whole thing back on a single centerline might not make it workable.
This might be a replacement job.
