Cross slide dome nut thread size
Anyone know what the handle end of the cross slide screw thread is, one that the dome nut goes on? Circled in the image. I think I've damaged mine and hope I can get a standard die to clean it up.

If it is 7/32W you could run a 3/16W die over it ( same 14 TPI). I expect 3/16 dome nuts would be more readily available than 7/32.

Find someone nearby with a lathe that can chase the thread for you?

You could use a thread file.

Pass on the chasing with a lathe, the thread is quite small and the chance of it all running true are?

+1 for thread file. Only spin the work slowly though.

Thanks for your suggestions, I managed to chase it in the lathe and carefully feeding by hand. It's not perfect but the nut goes on.
