The guy with those stripped out lead screw
nuts called today. He tried the 'contact us'
link on their website but got no response
after a week so he looked at the grizzly site
and found a mill drill that looked like his. So
he called a phone number that was supposed
to be a tech rep hotline. The rep had no idea
what the thread dimensions were but at
least gave a couple part numbers for the
nuts on that machine. The guy got the nuts
yesterday and by golly they were the right
ones! He is now up and running and a happy
camper. $55 for one and $65 for the other.
Both new nuts are steel.
Problem is solved.. ;)}
