i recently purchased a amazon compound slade for my 9X24 mini lathe, this is to replace the aluminum compound that shipped with the lathe. the add clearly showed a brass nut for the lead screw, but what was shipped has the lead screw threaded into the cast iron of the slide and no separate nut. how big of an issue is this? i can use as is and later machine a brass nut and rework the slide to fit it. i will definitely be asking for at least a partial refund but i'm wondering if it will be ok as is for a wile?
