Enter as much information about your CNC hardware and software as you can - it makes it easier for everyone to know what you're talking about then.

Hi

I did a Google search on " viceroy leadscrew nut" and got a few UK suppliers on the first page.

Given the price of replacement parts (are they made of gold?), I suggest you consider a ball screw conversion.
