You are right on the compound screw being RH Dennis.

BTW, Ranier, I'll post a photo of that compound base, screw nut dial and handle I have. You figure out the shipping and customs etc and paypal me and I'll send it free as far as my part goes. We'll want to send it Uniited States Postal Service flat rate box but I have no idea what the "real" rate is to Germany.

So so sorry about your thoughts on right or left hand screws.? One has to look at how the screw is mounted.? On the cross slide the screw is stationary and the nut is on the moving cross slide.? So when you turn it to the right the cross slide moves away from you so that is a left hand screw.? But if you look at your compound slide you will see that the screw moves with the top casting and the nut is in the base so it’s a right hand screw as the screw moves with the top slide casting.

Dennis,

?Both my lot 4 and 6 compounds have LH screws, when I turn the handle clockwise the feed is away from the handle (in), I think the TS screw is also, as I only know of one lathe in my shop with a RH screw for the TS, it's big, almost 5 tons and you pull the handwheel towards the front, or counter clockwise, which works well when drilling with big drills.

"its Rainer from old Germany.

?

Is it possible to send both to me?

I need them for my Lot2"

Hi Ranier,

?Dennis would know if the screw is the same as for the lot 4 and 6, this also has the compound base with the nut, screw, dial and handle. The screw is tight which is ideal. I also don't know if the lot 2 will take the same compound base. I'd rather keep it if it won't fit your lathe.

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
