There was a write up of someone doing this. I think it was in the
files section.

I am picking up my new 7 sixteenths x 10 LH Acme tap in the UK next
week. Sorry I cant find a slash on this Italian keyboard, or an
apostrophe either. I also am getting 3 eighths x 10 LH and RH taps.

I may be in the cross slide compound nut business when I get back
home.

I wonder if it would be possible to up the size of the shaft for

the

cross slide to 1/2-10 LH Acme. Would it be better to be bigger? I
think htere is enough clearance in there to do it and I have

20 of that size acme tap at work in rough and finish

configurations.

I was going to join it to the old shaft in front of the gear

somehow.
