I have installed a new page, section really, to my web site devoted to CNC Routers. One main feature will be a projects page. It seems to me there is a lot of...
Is it possible to cast bronze into a preheated machined mild steel component. The goal is to create a composite block from which a mill screw lead nut can be...
Is there a reason not to use Moglice? That would be my first choice. The steel can be coated with brazing rod before the casting to assure the bond. Kind of...
... Ron, Never have considered Moglice Low friction way liner. Would not have thought that it would be suitable for a lead screw nut . Well, I have the...
You may be plowing new ground, here. At least from a hobby point of view. If you figure it out, please be sure to let us know! ... -- Ron Thompson Riding my...

Moglice is the perfect repair material to use as a lead screw nut. It can be cast right in place effectively reducing any alignment errors. The thread...

... I wouldn't say perfect material. I think the "perfect" material would be ball bearings. ;) Lead screws are terribly inefficient (around 30%) and are much...
Ball screws aren't suitable for a manual machine. You need that inefficiency to hold the screws in place during cutting. Ball screws need some form of brake to...
Brass and bronze are brazed unto steel all the time, but are little more than a coating in that instance; the point being that as the weaker material (and only...
Your right, I reread the original and I guess I must have assumed it was for a manual machine refit. ... -- Ron Thompson Riding my '07 XL883C Sportster On the...
Dan, I've seen bronze bearings on steel backing, so something similar is done in industry, at any rate. Broken cast iron (engine blocks, among other things) is...
A slightly off-topic question here: How much would enough Moglice and the appropriate release agent to make 3 or 4 lead nuts cost? I've been looking for...
... Thanks to all for your interesting responses. The Machine in question is an old manual machine. I should have been more specific. I will read the...
You might check Loctite product line for similar material? I'd never heard of Moglice before this discussion but in the past I have mixed up similar material...
I have no affiliation at all with these people, but they might be able to help you. http://www.moglice.com/lowfrictionwayliners.html Moglice is a special low...
I sent my new page out a while ago to my e-zine subscribers and thought I would share it with you too. It is a plaque I did using lost foam. Here is the...
