Replace the lead screw in the knee of my bridgeport?

[dabear3428]

I have a BP EZ Trak that I built a power knee drive for about ten years ago. When trying to determine the required torque, I made an adapter so I could use my torque wrench to drive the knee. I placed two hundred pounds of lead on the table and then took the torque reading to determine what I could use for a motor. Here's a few photos of what I built.

what is the friction material you are using?

It's just ordinary organic brake lining material purchased from a company that re-lines bake shoes.
