[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 831840, member: 24284"] I've just always known, what you call a half nut, as a split nut. I've not had the pleasure of the Harding machines. But I've experienced Clausings, South Bends, Warner & Swaseys, Brown & Sharpe single spindle automatics, Acme-Gridley multiple spindle automatics, New Britain multile spindle automatics, Summit engine lathes (you can dis-engage the split nut on those when metric threading), Monarchs, Lymans, Sydneys and now HAAS. Thats just turning machines, the list is about as long for the mills I have set-up and operated. Punch presses,,, yes, for the part punched and for broaching, precision grinders, no centerless or bore, but pleanty of surface and tool & cutter grinders (making & sharpening). Heat treating,,,,, only on a one one one basis in the tool room. True "job shops" will show you alot in 35+ years. Never a boring moment,,,,,, unless it's with a 'bar'! [/QUOTE]
