I'd like to make new one for my Ajax mill's Y axis which has been bastardised.....Its been cut with a BSW thread which Im sure isnt original.... The material used looks like Phos B.....but to buy a piece the same size is going to be a kings ransom.... How about cast iron? ( meehanite? )

First of all he casually walks out the back door and casts a bronze bar to make it from. Scrap bronze is only £5 a kilo so a bit cheaper than buying the nice drawn bar.
