Al,
You raise a good question.
I have noticed for many years that a lot of tool makers and machinists use
a similar term "dead nuts".
I have inquired almost every time someone has used that term and have never
really given me an acceptable answer. Does anyone on the list know the
origin or meaning of this term. Below is a quick context.
The external diameter of the main shaft is "dead nuts".
Thanks in advance for your help
