RE: Make a "Split Nut"

There might be a chance that a brass split nut wears and compromises the lead screw... then you have a bigger problem... I have sent several emails to suppliers of tooling for the metal industry, and all have said no to a 5/8-4, right hand, acme thread tap... for now I am giving up and will try

Re: Make a "Split Nut"

HDPE is a little soft.  Over on another machinist form that I'm on people have heated a lead screw and pressed acetal  (delrin) around the screw to form threads.  It takes multiple heating attempts and practice. ⁣Sent from BlueMail ​ On Aug 3, 2017, 9:23 AM, at 9:23 AM, MWF

Re: need help in identifying a 1500 (?)

Funny!  I wish I could remember the name of the owner.  I recall it was an eBay purchase that had everything except the manual.  I'm thinking I helped the new owner assemble it.  Either that or I helped him sell the thing on eBay and made sure most of the parts were there. It's been six or

Tim,If you ship it to me - I'll take pictures of the process of assembling it and send them to you.At that point, it will be too large & unwieldy to send back to you - so I'll have to "store" it for you here. Thanks for sharing.Mac-Original Message- From: Tim Krause

Re: Wood Chuck Tour by Mike Pung

tim, my reference was not to the nut turning sideways...it is that the nut is just wearing out due to so many travels up and down the X axis...the wear is not "into" the threads of the nut, but rather to each side of the thread...in the worn photo, you can see that the thread is now a centered

Make a "Split Nut"

Hello all,I am not sure how well a split nut made from HDPE will hold up - but here is my 2-cents' worth:HDPE (Look on bottom of plastic jugs, bottles, etc for the Recycle symbol w/the #2) is the only plastic that I know of that we can "re-purpose" at home.Do an Internet/BING search for this -

Re: Wood Chuck Tour by Mike Pung

If your nut is turning sideways, there is too much friction in the system.  Now I don't know if this applies to the early machines, but the top hat bushings in the new machines are notorious for this problem.  There was a final update to the split nut that had shoulders that prevented the split

Re: Wood Chuck Tour by Mike Pung

i'll offer an opinion here, as this could have been a problem for me on my recently acquired 1500...the problem is, due to the action/movement of the lead screw, the threads in the split nut wear sideways, especially when using a drive motor...think of each cross section of thread as a

Re: Wood Chuck Tour by Mike Pung

No the trick only works on the model 1000 and newer machines (aluminum). I personally think you should update the split nut to be like the model 900's or revo. That vintage split nut is just too complicated to bother with. Just my humble opinion. I'm sorry I did not get back to you on this

Tim On the 7.7.16 I did send some pics of the nut. I have lost them from PC and can't copy and paste to & from this site, so if you look back to that date you will see them Cheers Richard On Thursday, August 3, 2017 at 6:52:59 AM UTC+1, Tim wrote: > > So your woodchuck split nut is not what was
