Replacing a Damaged Lead Screw on My Old Lathe!

[@RB-yq7qv]

I'm amazed it works at all with all the dirt and crap on it. Nothing like keeping it clean and well oiled.

I understand Sorry if not found the Phosphorus Bronze . Now you have second choice, any quality of Bronze you found Machining the shape and threading the nuts ,done. Take a pill recipient steel better 🪣 ,fill up whit oil new or old (🚙 From car oil change)🛻. Then heating the oil to temperature boiling ♨the immerse the bronze nuts ,live at least 1/2 hrs. The material bronze will absorb the oil like foam ,and remain lubricate the nuts for long time. Another choice manufacturing the nuts ACME -SQUARE thread from CAST IRON ( fundici`on gris ) THE material have carbon and lubricate with oil or grease . Note of detail you have a good Lathe because it old that mind the casting are good plus has double prism all the way in the bead, good machine for Boring hole . Greeting from Argentina -Canada❤🧉⚽🌗🛠🔎

La tuerca original que mostras en el video se gasto trabajando. Pero te encontre el problema la tuerca tiene color amarillo clara, es decir que algien la hizo de Bronze Trafilado blando. Se debe de hacer de BRONZE FOSFOROSO de buena calidad , dura ma`s tiempo y emplea menos lubricaci`on. Greeting from CANADA.🧉⚽🛠🔎

Yes that is right. The nut is not bronze 100%. We can not find the 100%bronze quality
