I have recently purchased a hardinge hlv-bk lathe and among the few parts missing is the half nut. I found one on eBay and have decided it might be more cost effective to attempt to make my own. (machined, or possibly 3d printed given the proper material) Hell, I don't really know rates for getting something milled on a cnc but I think that might even be cheaper given I provide a fusion model. Anyway, my question for anyone out there is if someone has a half nut for this machine that would be able to give me a handful of dimensions for me to make a model in fusion360. Also some detailed photos of one would extremely helpful. I'm fairly certain I can reverse-engineer one with taking measurements off the machine and a bunch of trial and error. if anyone has any info or wants to let me borrow their half nut it would be greatly appreciated.
