[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 633436, member: 25383"] The thing about a Morten nut is that they are precision nuts that are hard and have a thick flange to spread the pressure out. They really hold up well, and almost never mess the threads up on a stud. The radiused ones are self aligning, and once you use them your ruined. You being the only person using that tool block will not have problems. But if you have one guy that drags out a big combo wrench, and you got problems. I also set the blocks up with a large hardend and ground washer underneath the blocks to keep them from screwing up the lathe compound slide gary [/QUOTE]
