Customer Reviews (4.2 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Miles ★★★★★

The swap took me an afternoon, and the new cross slide feed screw and nut thread perfectly with zero backlash. My dials now read true metric, which makes threading and facing cuts way less brain-twisting.

Joshua ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly the cross slide feed screw and nut went in—no forcing or tapping needed. Having all four dials switch to metric in about 20 minutes makes my setup far more consistent.

Carter ★★★★☆

I’ve been using these metric conversion parts for a few weeks now, and the cross slide screw is definitely more precise than I expected. It’s a good upgrade for the price, though the nut took a little effort to seat properly.
