Joco:
Finally finished the leadscrew nut today.   After a test fit I discovered there was no value to be gained by rounding the end over like the original.  I suspect that was done on the original casting to save material.  It is not needed for clearance.

Pics attached ...

#1 to #4 show the initial machining results.
#5 shows the relief cut into the new nut
#6 installed and ready to have the table assembly begin.   I have installed the table slide and tested things.  It runs super smooth.  Very happy.

Finished.  A a fully assembled and working shaper. The only thing to complete now is some leveling feet.  I'll keep a track of progress and design on those and post here.  In the mean time here is my little youtube vid showing the fully functional shaper.

Great to see it run after all the TLC you have put into it  :ThumbsUp:

Now you just need to see it work on a piece of metal  :cheers:
