Re: Advice on small mill table conversion

Success, the "tapified" end of the leadscrew now cuts excellent
threads without huge friction but with no perceivable backlash. The
trick was to put some rake on the cutting teeth as per real taps.
Grinding the tap was simple and now I know what I am doing it could be
even simpler, it was only half an hours work as it was.

I'm putting some pictures together on a page to show my progress.
