I looked at the split nut mod but it didn't seem to keep adjustment all that well for Mike so I didn't do it. I'm hoping mine stays about the .008 I have now. I'll be happy with that :-). Perfect???No but a vast improvement over what I had before and I think if the thread was cut with the help of a traveling steady it would help the precision of the thread but again I don't have one of those.?

For information:? I have since installed a Delrin nut on my minilathe which works very well and this eliminates backlash very effectively. Details of this mod are on my website, see:
