And at least you have a larger bore than I did. Beware that you

ACME if your cross-slide is like mine. Check it out before you order
anything.

Good Luck,
DoN.

If he's making nut and screw, he COULD use a RH thread - the
cross-slide would just work backwards and take a bit of getting used
to (and the scale would read backwards)
