If your lead screw nuts are just sloppy, you can usually split them and take up the slack with the retaining screw. See the Bridgeport operators manual in the
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/grou...mill_manuals1/
for a photo. The file should be labeled Operators manual 1981, and the diagram of the table shows where to split the X-axis nut (somewhere in the middle). I have also seen a technique where the nut is split about 80% through and the retaining screw forces the gap to close. I think the full split nut would be better since it should wear more evenly.

I'm not sure if it will work, this machine that I need the nuts for isn't a Bridgeport and some parts vary among the original Bridgeport.
