    New to the forum, came here because everything else seems US based and not always the best place for advice.
    I run a 3040 cnc ballscrew version and use it to make parts for model ships.

    Now I have just run into what could be best described as a bad issue..

    I have a damgaged Z axis ballscrew that needs replaces (endstop switch failed.. Broken wire)

    Now I;m having issues find a UK supplier of 150mm SFU1204 12mm Ballscrew. I mean no where can I find one.. ?

    I know the UK no has issues with the brexit situation but heck ,, Im at a loss..
    anyone know who would have one ?

    eBay was looking at them myself just last night, longer than you need but on that length of screw you can get away with not supporting the floating end...simply lop it off where you need it.

    Thanks I must have searched hi and low.... found one of the correct length now from china :( so will see how that works out with customs... maybe will get the longer one from the link you provided "just in case"
    I appreciate you taking the time to answer cheers...

    I presume that you would also need a thread and a reduction for your coupling, if you can provide details, I have a lathe
