I have lost a nut from my skilsaw, model# 5580. This nut is used to
tighten the depth adjustment with the the base plate. None of the
random spare nuts I have fit. From this page I can download manual
and parts list:

http://www.skiltools.com/Parts-And-S...rts-Lists.aspx

The parts list is super vague. I want part #44. This is shown in the
picture for the parts list on the model 5480 saw, but the model 5580
parts list is lacking a picture. Both use the same part number:
"1 619 X00 677" with description "Nut".

It costs a buck plus shipping and I can expect a week for that shipping.

Or if I could find out diameter and threading, I could (hopefully) buy it
today from a hardware store. Searching the web by part number does not
get me more details.

The bolt is not easily removed from the saw to bring it into my hardware
store. The bolt looks like 1/4-20, but nuts that fit that size don't
fit this. The similiarly sized metric nuts (m6x1) don't thread on either.

Can someone identify the part?

Take the whole saw to the hardware store or your local fastener shop
and see if they have something to fit.

There were two ways to read that sentence. Happily, you meant it in the

With a sharp blade it may not hurt... at least not right away. ;~)

Have you tried putting a thread guage on the "bolt"? Or... taking your saw
to the big box store to match up a nut? You could have probably had it
fixed by now...

Why not take the saw to the hardware store?

Sounds like it could be 1/4-28 fine thread

My thoughts exactly. I thought, "Oh noooo..., not another shop accident
story." Then I thought, just how would he do that?

Then I saw that it was a hardware problem. In that case just go to your
local fastener place and let them find it for you. Anybody who works with
tools or machinery needs a relationship with fastener and bearing houses.
Those guys have saved my ass on many occasions. The world could not operate
without them.

Looking at pictures at ereplacementparts.com and scaling from the image
it looks like is 5/16" NC (0.31" +/-). Clearly the screw thread is
_not_ NF so would guess you're looking at 5/16 - 18 is NC.

If nothing else, replace both bolt and nut with new pair that do match...

Since the original post in 2014 he junked it and bought a new saw.

I have to say, that subject line conjures up a pretty gruesome image.
