First, thanks to all who offered advice on my Clausing cross-slide leadscrew
repair problem.


yer screwed if you try the deep hole trick. Hard to hold concentricity.

What would be wrong with cutting old ends off lead screw, leaving enough
length for stubs that you would spigot into shorter holes in new Acme
portion? Much easier to make short holes and siver solder ends into them
than any fol-de-rol with doing the whole length. You also save trouble
making those splines.
