Found a UK source. £19.95, no minimum, but freight = ?
Keep in mind the feedscrew is ~500mm long, enough for many worms and hobs. Dunno how I'll go cutting it.
Here's hoping the Aussie source comes thru.
Just remember guys.....unless you can get the commercial ACME thread
exactly concentric on some sort of drive shaft in your 3 jaw or 4 jaw,
you will have an error transferred to your blank.

That's why I'm machining my hobs/worms. It makes them exactly concentric.

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious.
