Looking at the picture concerning this problem, I see that your feed screw is dirty. Did you test the weighted half nut after the feed screw was cleaned and lubricated? I have the same setup and have no problems with skipping.

Steve,
I oiled the feedscrew, then went over it with a broken wooden toothpick several times. It is clean as a whistle now, but the half nut still skips here and there. I think I need a halfnut that has less wear. Time to hit the parts bin!
