Jeff:

No, an "ACME" screw is a KIND of screw, definitely NOT a "ball-screw" which
is ANOTHER kind. The ACME screw has "square-looking" threads, not
"V-threads" like most bolts. Do you have a vise? The screw in that is
likely an ACME screw (but not always, these days, what with "imports"!)

Lotsa luck! Jan
