Whilst fitting the DRO to my Kerry lathe I investigated the source of the backlash in the cross slide. I guessed that I'd have to measure up for a replacement feed nut but no, that's been done. It's the feedscrew that's worn. The nut replaced by a previous owner fits perfectly at the extremities of it's travel. So I need to make a new feedscrew - which isn't easy if you only have one lathe and no spare feedscrew. Has one got spare feedscrew for a Kerry that I could borrow (or buy) to work from? I suspect that Kerry didn't change the design through the lathe life so any model should be OK.
Thanks
