ACME LEADNUTS FOR THE MINI-MILL

These are acetal/delrin leadnuts for 5/8" x 8 TPI ACME leadscrews. They are of the split-nut design to allow you to reduce backlash. We have tested these with Nook brand "precision" leadscrews.

You can purchase these individually as spares for your ACME leadscrew kit or save money on tooling (over $150) if you have our ACME Leadscrew conversion plans and don't want to spend money for tooling that you may only use once.

Each leadnut comes pre-threaded with a slot cut out in the middle and two set screws for adjusting out backlash.

X-Axis ACME Leadnut - $19.95

Shipping charges extra and will require payment once we receive your order. (More info)
