I have the fence and the extra feather boards, but I am missing the nuts and bolts that came with it. I also have sliding T-nuts, so thats no big deal. What I don't have is the bolts for the feather boards, nor screws/bolts for attaching the fence to the t-nuts.

Anyone who has one of these, please let me know what the sizes are for the various bolts or whatever that it needs.

Thanks!

if i know what you are asking about, they are 3/16" x 1" with a shoulder that is 9/16" (unthreaded). The head has no screw driver slot but it has small wings that keep it from turning when the knob is tightened. The nuts are actually knobs. hope this is what you were asking.

Ah, ok. so they are using the standard featherboard hardware for the featherboards...that makes sense.

What about the bolts for going through the fence and hooking into the jointer, or for hooking into the t-nuts for use with the 520 fence?

Thanks!

I believe those are 1/4" bolts.

There are a couple different Shopsmith t-nuts but I think they all have 1/4-20 threads on one hole. One hole is not threaded and I am unsure about what the other is.
