[modeleng] Re: Playing Taps

Jesse,
I'll probably not spring for the tap and solve the problem by re-machining a 
standard nut.

I have been finishing up a wood bandsaw-to-metal conversion and solved the need 
for belt take-up by mounting the entire motor-gearbox assembly on a set of bar 
waya giving a 2" travel, just enough to loosen and replace belts or pulleys.  
The gearbox itself allowed this because it had bolting flanges sufficiently 
deep to be bored to pass the ways (bars) through.  This "carriage" will be 
traversed by Acme leadscrew and it needs a fixed nut.
Dheers,
Harry
