    Hi Ricardoco,
    I found a company that makes 14mm ballscrew with a threaded nut but these were only rolled ballscrews not ground. But the original ballscrews on the VMC260 are rolled, so....

    I keep my existing ballscrew for now, I can not detect much backlash so far, so should be OK untill I get enough money aaside to get some new ones...

    An other option I found is a guy specialised in fixing damaged ballscrew. May worth a try?
