For Those That Could Care Less, press delete now. For Those That Make Slow
Motions on Their Mounts:
     I have been putting together some material into little web pages
recently. Today I put up photos and a description of my method of
constructing simple-to-make (drill press only) tangent arm nuts that are
tolerance-friendly, adaptable, strong, and wear resistant. This eliminates
the problems of milling slots and pinning nuts just to watch them wear out
and put backlash in your declination axis.
     I've been using this method for a number of years and haven't had one
wear out yet. Backlash free, alignment tolerant, easy to make. Should work
for wood too.
