Joe, Can you take a photo of the torn up split nut. I'm curious about something.

well, the legacy gods smiled upon me today!...that hinged, split nut was a mess...the bracket was poorly made by a previous owner and the threads were very worn...so I looked through my extra parts and found what you see in the two photos...a new, split nut that was left over perhaps from my wood chuck machine or the 1200 that I used to extend the 1800...I don't remember, but there it was...interesting that it attached to the carriage like it was meant to be, and that it is angled, not up and down like on the 1800 and other, later legacy machines...and I even have another, threaded half of the split nut, as a spare, if this one ever wears out(certainly not in my lifetime!)...so that was a 10 minute upgrade/repair...and so it begins, bringing this machine up to a much better, user friendly, condition...the legacy gremlins are now harassing me to continue, LOL!...god help me!...joe b.
