Im looking for 10 tpi acme left hand internal and external inserts and holder.
I have a AXA qctp.

I need to attempt to make new cross feed and lead screw nuts
Supplier ( smithy ) lathes could not give me specs other than 10 tpi acme. Poking around it seems the screws are odd size or more likely metric cut with 10 tpi pitch? This is the lead screw nut im attempting to make. No longer Available from smithy

They have all sizes in both hands . :)
 
The inserts are available in the standard 16ER/16IR configuration, so a basic 16ER holder will work for external and 16IR bar for internal.

It should make no difference whether RH or LH.

What is the shaft diameter, it may be difficult to get a threading bar into the hole.
 
You should see a chart on that site . Scroll down to 10 tpi .There are about 6-7 different 10tpi inserts listed .

Do i need to be on a PC or lap top. Because navigation on my phone is a bit frustrating ?
 
I'm on a pc and can see all the 10tpi inserts . Not sure about a phone , I still use a flipper ! :grin:
 
On a Mac, I can see the 10tpi inserts. On a VNC'd RPI5, I can see the 10tpi inserts as well. Both using Firefox. On an Android phone I also can see the page starting with NA, and down below are 10 tpi inserts. Might want to restart your phone, maybe your browser is a little kaflooey.
 
Being left hand , you plan on threading out or in ? This would determine what bar you need . I've lent mine out before .
