Hey Mark, looks like you have a lot of work to do there. The manual I sent you came from the CanTek dealer here in Edmonton, Arkhurst Machinery. You should be able to contact them with the part numbers from the drawings in the manual. I'm not sure they wil still be able to get parts but it's worth a try. That lead screw would be easy enough to make from the right size acme threaded rod. Of course you would need a lathe,LOL. My cross slide lead screw was bent when I bought my lathe so I removed and straightened it but I never measured the thread pitch. When I made the lead screw for my mill I bought acme threaded rod from The Bolt House here in Edmonton.
