This is part 2 of the new cross slide handwheel built for my Mini Lathe. I copied the design from the beautiful highest class swiss Schaublin lathes. The way they made the locking mechanism for the cross slide dial is very interesting.
In this second part I made the new acme leadscrew, the locking mechanism, the new nut and finished the whole project.

It took quite a while finishing this project and video, longer than expected due to personal reasons. There might be a little summer break now.
