Thanks TG....I have to call clausing for a couple of replacement parts anyways. Thank goodness I was able to straighten the Y axis lead screw to about 90% or better. Hopefully they do not charge me an arm and a leg for the 2 parts I need....ugh.
I got my lead screw from Clausing 3 years ago and the tag on it was marked 8530. I did not check again with Clausing as the part numbers were the same. Evidently someone tagged it wrong. I should have checked further before posting on them being the same. I apologize for this bad info. I will check twice from now on.
No worries Billy! I was able to straighten the lead screw to about 90% or more....shouldn't be an issue with what little I am doing in the garage....I am still learning anyways! Now it is the bushing and locking ring I am after, as they were both tweaked due to the damaged...I can only imagine the mill tipped, bending the lead screw. I will see if I can source the parts....little expense seeming what I actually paid for this mill!
