Need Lead Screw Sournce in US

I’ve spent 3 hours looking for a 8mm lead screw long enough to replace the z rod. Several sources offer shorter screws, but I can’t one long enough in the US. I hate to send my money to China. Nothing against China other than shipping time. I just worry about never getting my item. What could I do if they pocket my money? Nothing.

So back to my question: Does anyone sell a lead screw in the US long enough for the K8200? What is it about 380-400mm? Or, has anyone dealt with a seller in China that they would recommend?

mpoore,
you may have more luck if you search for a threaded rod or threaded bar instead of a lead srew, for example

Hi,

Home_Nucleonics mentioned the US division of Igus as source for metric trapezoidal lead screws, if that’s what you’re looking for.
