Said it the wrong way again but the right screws, COMPOUND screws.

Oops, I was looking at the cross feed.
OK, I just looked at both cross feed screws and both are again 7/16-10 LH acme. I have one here if you want it, both the screw and the nut.
Is your lathe a lot 4 or a lot 6? My lot 4 and lot 6 both have 7/16-10 LH screws. I didn't look to see if they were square or acme but I assume they are acme.
Here is one on ebay, $29.95;
Another update from me and my Dalton 9 x 4 serial 90.05.? I'm looking for the nut for my compound slide or to find out what the thread count and size on that nut so that I can replace it. it's got some slop in it possibly the screw too although it does look pretty decent and since the nut is brass and I'm assuming since it's the softer metal that is going to wear first. Any insight would be much appriciated
