Needing excello mill parts

Got some more done on the leadscrew today. Turned both ends and am pretty much now waiting on some thread cutting tooling that is on a very slow boat from china. Looks like about a two week wait. Ouch.
The first pic shows the 3/4" area where I will thread for backlash adjustment. Then of course 5/8 threading on each end to hold the handles on.

IT'S ALIVE
I finally got the mill back to 100 percent.
I just went ahead and made the parts I needed instead of waiting on the PO to get off his can and finish the deal. He might call me someday and tell me to come get the parts I need and if he does then cool but if he doesn't then I still have a working mill.
The only drawback is I don't have the dials on the end to tell me how much I am moving but a DRO will fix that.IMG_20170419_2218203_rewind.jpg IMG_20170419_2218389_rewind.jpg IMG_20170419_2219120_rewind.jpg IMG_20170419_2220468_rewind.jpg
 
This is most excellent. Thanks for posting the progress on your mill. We should have an Ex-Cell-O club. My mill doesn't match any of the many different descriptions that I have found.
