Hallo Graham,

If I read your drawings well you mount the designed attachment instead of the leadscrew nut and all left to the longitudinal slide.

Would this not mean that the minimum distance between cross slide and headstock is increased by at least some 50mms? You think this is acceptable for most of the machining operations?

Regards,

Jouke

I own an emco c5 which was built in 1982, including milling attachment. This means that the thread for the cross spindle is direct in the longitudinal slide, there is no adjustable nut for reducing backlash. In 1985 an adjustable nut was introduced.

I hardly used the lathe but when using I had alway problems with the worn out thread causing a non reproducable backlash of approx. .3mm.

last week I was able to by an extra lathe bed, longitudinal slide, cross slideand top slide, indeed made in 1985.

So my main problem is solved. But now I have the luxury of having a spare bed with slide which could be used for a separate milling equipment.

Therefore, I wonder if somebody has found a solution for introducing some kind of adjustable nut in the old design slide (1984 or earlier, year of manufacture is engraved in the bed).

Who has a solution?

Regards,

Jouke
