Sourcing gunmetal for leadscrew nuts.

You're welcome. Have fun with your old machine tool, and post some pics when you get the job done. Sounds interesting.

Hello Hopper,

You were bang on the money! The slide lock appeared to be working, but was in fact not clamping the slide. That explains the gross radial wear on the nut Thanks for pointing that out, otherwise the replacement nut will go the same way as the original.

Andrew.
