Job now done, I used a bit of everybodies ideas starting with the round file and then where it was quite bad I used the HSS single point tool. Leadscrew and halfnut now working smoothly.

Thanks to all who replied, great site for information and ideas.

thanks, another good idea. Ive ordered a acme thread gauge so as to grind the tool accurately. Will let you know how i get on.

thanks Clive that a sound idea,maybe job for tomorrow
