How big of a piece do you all need? I will cut to fit. I paid $25 BF it's just under 2" by 10" by 60" I also have some 1x1x20 cocobolo about 20 of them for $8.00 each. It's also a hard oily wood Mike OK On 10/3/2020 8:57 AM, 'Curt George' via Legacy Ornamental Mills wrote: Good morning everyone. WOW that posting is way to pricey. I would stay away from it, I know you can buy the same wood for much cheaper, else-ware. Mac. melting plastics is something that Has always interested me although I have not done it yet. I too (like I think it was Doug) have made my own 5/8-4 tap out of an old piece of screw. And Yes it works well. I bought one of those E-bay taps, it still has not arrived yet. I am looking forward to seeing the quality difference between my home made one and this factory made tap. I project that I have tried a few times over the years is to Hobb a worm gear with the 5/8-4 thread, My goal was to mate it up with the Legacy's lead screw. All that I can say on that project is, I did have some success, but nothing that worked as well as I had hoped for. Perhaps when this new tap gets to me, I can try it again, and have better success? We will see. ;-) More on this topic latter. Have a Great weekend everyone. Lots to do, in the shop today... C.A.G.

I will tell you- it is TOUGH STUFF - which is what makes it an ideal wood for you to use. Look it up on the internet.

Has anyone ever made lead screw blocks out of wood? If so - what were the results? I know they made <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignum_vitae> "bearings" for ships out of Lignum Vitae - so I'll assume one of The Group members has used wood for a screw block. I'm sure the type & quality of the species you choose will have a "bearing" () on how it performs. Just a thought. Tim - let us know how your "soon to be fabricated" Lignum Vitae screw blocks turn out. Get Happy!

I also have a set of Chinese tap and dies that work fine. remember the alternative for a 5/8 x 4 acme tap Is custom made at around $300 to me it is worth trying. that’s why I bought one I will tap a piece of Delrin when I get the chance and see but I’m sure it will work ok.
