You would think so. ACME is used for the carriage, but the cross slide appears to be a v for these machines...Is your lead screw just a "Vee" thread? I would have thought that an ACME would be the proper thread.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it. Sorry for the delayed response, i was away for a bit. I've started maintenance of the lathe, replacing gear oil, cleaning, setting gibs and going over everything else. Installing a QCTP and will hopefully start trying the first turning shortly. I have a Stainless Steel shaft with threads as well that I need to make, probably rather ambitious to start, but we'll see how it goes. I have both HHS and the carbide tipped tooling (replaceable tips). I have watched some blondihacks and will be going through much more now, she seems great. Good to hear from someone experienced that her advice is valid!It sounds like you are off to a really good start. Experimenting and making mistakes is all part of the learning curve.
The Blondihacks youtube channel is a really good place to start. She has a whole lathe beginner series that were really helpful to me. I go back and review different ones from time to time. There are lots of other good video makers that are very helpful too but I find Blondihacks to be more geared toward my type of machine shop uses.
I look forward to seeing your projects posted over in the Project Of The Day thread.
