Need am M12 LEFT-Hand thread bolt.
Anyone help? been on t'internet and spoken to various places the searches turned up, but to no avail.
Anyone got one lying about? It's from an old-ish mitre saw? Nu-Tool, if that helps, company now defunct, so if you have a saw for spares or repair............

Someone with a lathe should be able to turn one up for you fairly easily.
I haven't got on at the moment, so i can't do it for you, but others on here should be able to help you.
You could post a question on www.mig-welding.co.uk as well, lots of good hobby engineers there!

Wot ^^^^^ said ...
Seems that LH nuts are easy enough to find but not bolts ...
Hmmm. Anyway, how about this place ... http://www.stainlessautomotivefasten...a5c315146f55b1 ... ? You don't mention the pitch either. best make sure you know that before you order.Or, for threaded bar ... http://www.fastfixdirect.co.uk/code/...CategoryID=128 ... maybe you could use some of this?
I noticed that Google brought up several chandlers for LH threaded bits. Though these were not simple bolts on a brief examination. Maybe worth popping into one if you have one nearby though.
At the end of the day though, I agree with Henrik. Find a local machinist and it'll get done to your spec.

Does it screw into a tapped hole?
If not can you not use a R/H threaded bolt instead.
Alternatively, try these:

We use them all the time at work, they've never failed to find obscure stuff for me

Well, I got one, today, locally, over the counter. 
Googled it again, it led me to a forum, where several replies were ones I've already seen, and were no deal.
Then I found a link to a place in Sheffield selling them for BRUSHCUTTER blades.
Looked good, so I rang a local guy who repairs mowers, brushcutters, chainsaws etc, and he had one available, although I'll have to make the head less tall to fit under the guard. And even I can do that on my little lathe. £3.60, so looks like it's a goer.
Cheers for all replies.
