I am finishing up a bench for a Southbend 9B.
The top is strapped at the ends with bar stock
and bolted through with 1/2" - 13 stock.
The last 36" length of rod has a thread on which
the nut runs "loose." There's too much play and I'm
not in a position to take it back.
Can I improve the grip of the nut by slightly peening
the thread on the 12" - 13 stock - at select places gr?
Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks,

You own a lathe. Make a tight fitting nut.
