4 years later and the OP is still searching for his nuts. Sad.

LH thread is not likely unless it is the blade retention nut, and that is def not even close to 1/4". I have replaced a number of nuts (as in hardware) when restoring vintage saws, none have been LHT, and all have been standard SAE diameters/TPI...
Can't speak to this particular model tho...
likely be the arbor nut.
agree that is the one commonly dropped/lost...op mentioned it's the blade depth lock nut...

I would think that because the nut was actually removed that it would
likely be the arbor nut.

through their display racks and try nuts until you find the one that fits.
Don't go to one that only carries prepackage nuts. Go to one that has
an open rack of loose items.
On Mon, 6 Sep 2021 10:13:29 -0400, knuttlesearching by description, and from my memory (not home at the moment), looks more like it might be a type of acorn nut.

Don't go to one that only carries prepackage nuts. Go to one that hasSee if there's a "Fastenal" branch year you. If so, take it in and
an open rack of loose items.
see if they can find a matching nut. If they can't, odds are that you
have to go to the manufacturer.

As the original poster, here's what was in my 2009 message:
I have lost a nut from my skilsaw, model# 5580. This nut is used to
tighten the depth adjustment with the the base plate. None of the
random spare nuts I have fit. From this page I can download manual
and parts list:
http://www.skiltools.com/Parts-And-Service/Pages/Owners-Manuals-And-Parts-Lists.aspx
The parts list is super vague. I want part #44. This is shown in the
picture for the parts list on the model 5480 saw, but the model 5580
parts list is lacking a picture. Both use the same part number:
"1 619 X00 677" with description "Nut".
It costs a buck plus shipping and I can expect a week for that shipping.
Or if I could find out diameter and threading, I could (hopefully) buy it
today from a hardware store. Searching the web by part number does not
get me more details.
The bolt is not easily removed from the saw to bring it into my hardware
store. The bolt looks like 1/4-20, but nuts that fit that size don't
fit this. The similiarly sized metric nuts (m6x1) don't thread on either.
Can someone identify the part?
No one identified the threading / size here and I didn't care to drag
the saw down to a store to rummage all the little drawers of nuts, so I
paid the buck something and five-ish shipping.
It not a left-hand-thread, but it seems to not be a standard thread
either. (Maybe because it is supposed to tighten with a hand twist
instead of a wrench?)
Happy conclusion for all?

You need a screw thread gauge and a micrometer or caliper. This will
get you into the right area.
