Looks like the usual Asian 'we make stuff...that looks like stuff'..maybe gold-painted pewter?:rolleyes:

Feed went to a good home for a project...hope it works out. Plz close thread

If you want yourself a project, go for it. Would suggest you take a close look on how these are designed because they are 1) many teeth 2) odd numbered/non-evenally divisible 3) the teeth are slanted, not perpendicular.

I have this Wells Setting X-axis powerfeed and works..except the nylon gear in the bottom was stripped previously and cant seem to find a replacement - none of the 5 current clones even come close to fitting. I used it for quite a while just as a general 'travel' mechanism but indeed with the...

NOS or lightly used 1" 10TPI RH hand tap; taper or plug type ideal Prefer N.A or European; I know I could buy Chinese for not too much but I find that the metalurgy of them is hit/miss and this is too big of a thread to mess around

leadscrews for PDM30 mill - took measurements tip-to-tip of leadscrew (not just threaded area): x - 35 3/8 RH thread; y - 17 3/4 LH thread ...very close but there are a number of versions out there... OD is .925, 10TPI - that OD is what I'm focusing on re: minor differences between brands...

Good idea; I'd like to explore tapping the OEM table nut out to 1-10 acme and see how much material is left (without spending $200+ for the tap). Table nut has a flange on it so I don't think this could be turned in a lathe...is there another way to get that thread bored out from .925 to 1"...

Good to hear that you finally got it sorted; I'm trying to deal with King myself at the moment and every bit of info they've provided has been false/incomplete. In reference to your issue, here is what they are claiming: We would also like to advise that the client you refer to with the lead...

Handle holes that you have to mill; I assume these are the holes that the roll pins go in to hold the ends on? If so, weird that these aren't already drilled as I would expect that the part should be drop-in....perhaps another QC issue and this step got missed at the factory. Not impressed...
