      Yup , that's what it looks like . But I don't know what pitch the   
   threads are ... They don't all use 8 TPI , some use 10 .   
      I saw a comment about making a brass/bronze nut to thread into the   
   original , I may end up going that way . I've got just over .020 lash ,   
   which isn't a problem with most projects , but my current project of   
   making tool holders for my QCTP is having problems .
