It's the same as the Grizzly G0484 and they show the part as discontinued . I'm looking for a replacement X axis lead screw nut . The Grizzly part number is P0484032 , maybe someone is making a replacement since there must be 10's of thousands of these machines around . The thread is Acme 15/16 (24 mm) diameter with an eight TPI thread . I've seen articles about people making replacements using plastic - maybe ABS? - and heat/pressure forming the threads but I'd lots rather find a direct drop-in replacement . -- Snag Voting for Kamabla after Biden is like changing your shirt because you shit your pants .
