I have an American vise 5" that has a broken 3/4" spindle nut. It is not repairable again.
I am looking for a steel 10 thread square nut that is 2 inches long

I saw this thread several months ago and I'm sure that there were replies. In fact, I am pretty sure that I replied with a suggestion. Perhaps I am mistaken, but I'm pretty sure that I had a suggestion involving nuts from McMaster-Carr fastened/welded together.
David, he hasn't visited the forum since posting his question. If you look at his other post you'll see your reply.
Please help support the Creek.

Or he could buy a tap and make one. Or single point it on the lathe.
Have fun finding a tap that size and if you can do internal threads on a lathe go for it. That nut looks to be cast iron and Acme thread. However you might look for a steel off the shelf nut that size and make it work? Metal lathes used those on power feed.
