yes you should be able to move your carriage very easily by hand when the nut
is disengaged
remove 2 of the bushings and slide the saddle along you will be suprised at the
dust build up in there
blow it out clean with some air and spray with dyna glide and she will slide
like cat sh-t on a linoleum floor :) :)

Hi James,
The nut is made from Acetal. If you have had your nut jump or come unseated
the more likely cause is dust built up inbetween the bushings in the rails or
oversized bushing causing excess drag on the nut in the first place or simply
you are taking too heavy of a cut. I would look into the simple things first.
I'm also assuming you are using Dynaglide as a lubricant which frees things up.
I have not seen anyone attempt to machine one in brass to date.

Subject: curious question?
i am not completely satisified with the legacy locknut for the carraige
drive, i have had it fail and jump thread before on the drive rod, that and is
it neoprene or whatever,,?? plastics are made to fail, omo, have you all had
this problem? if so how did you remedy it? and has any of you ever seen a brass
replacement? and why plastic?
just curious, not a big thing, i got it mostly licked. thanks
