Strange Request I know: My name is Bruce Wilson and I live in Payson, AZ. I have a much older Delta Table Saw that uses a nut on the arbor for securing blade and blades (dados). I’m 81 years old and retired - now making small decorative boxes as gifts for kids and new moms in our hospital here. I have searched all over the net for more than two weeks, including Delta of course, and have been unsuccessful in locating this nut. Now the difficulty is this: It must be exact as specified in the Subject box. I can find many places that have 5/8 - 11 Left Hand Thread - BUT NO ONE HAS 5/8 - 12. Some have suggested it is an ACME thread but I know nothing of this. All I really know is that the Delta Saw - Model 34-444 took, and still does take, a 12. This might be something someone has had for a spare since the saw is old - 1988, but cuts dead exact with all blades, dados, jigs, etc…….. It has a Delta Unfence attached also. I’m at a loss, but knowing the reputation for the Carolinas and quality woodworking I thought you might be able to assist. Of course I would pay for any expense incurred should someone be able to help…………. If not then nothing changes - I’m still dead in the water. Appreciate you reading this and pass on my best to you and yours for a Happy Thanksgiving……….. Bruce - Payson (Where the West still lives.)
