Band saw question

Here's the place to talk about all your table saws, bandsaws, routers and dust extractors. In fact anything that makes noise and uses electrickery.

I have a number of different grub screws as well Michael but not worth the run across unless you happen to be out near me, you know where I am.
If you need something temporary you could shove in a standard size stud though would need to be longer than the original grub screws I have some studs and will look at the grubscrews tomorrow, could always stick in the post if I have any and the above size will let Lurker know what to look for as well.

The original part btw is listed as code 11076 key 3 .........M5 x 8mm

Thanks Lons very kind of you, I did not think to check the parts diagram. Now I know what to order I will order some tomorrow. I don’t have any need for the machine but it was on my list of things to sort. Now it is clean and ready to go when required. You know it is funny some time ago I found a grub screw on the floor I can remover picking it up and wondering what it was from. I also remember putting it somewhere safe, I can’t remember where that was.

There is a bit of a disparity here between a grub screw needing a 3mm key and claims of an m5 thread which would normally need a 2.5 mm key.
Best to be sure and measure the screw you have m6 will be 5.9mm ish over the threads and m5 will be nearer 4.9mm.

No probs but the offer stands if |I have one however Bob is right about the disparity though the parts diagrams are clear you never know. I have a jar where I put random screws etc. I find on the floor, you never know.....now where did I put that jar? :lol:

What I usually do to double check a thread is just run it through an appropriate sized nut, not foolproof but close enough and I have taps and dies so I can often make up my own

It shows Black but says Stainless. It will be interesting to see what you get. Not that it makes much difference in this application. I buy mostly stainless fasteners these days

Funny you should say that as I agree that there is no such thing as a 'simple' grub screw. LOML chose some door knobs for our backdoor. Very stylish, I agree. Only the grub screws they supply to hold the knobs on were pants. I kept a hidden Allen key for when the outside one came loose. Then I realised that they'd used the wrong type of grub screw. C-cubed rules ...or not.

It's not too difficult to modify them though with a grinder and 1mm cutting disk, if needs must even if a temporary fix.

I’m not a fan of the smaller sizes in hex socket screws. I much prefer Torx if I can get them, which is not too often unless you want to pay a lot for them. I do have some Torx socket grub screws somewhere though, I think they came from China. Brass grub screws come in handy for some jobs and once again, the best priced ones come from the Far East.
