Size of set screw?

Anybody know what the size is of the set screw holding saw arbors on to the headstock.

The one on my sanding disk has worn and become hard to tighten. I looked in the manual but couldn't seem to locate the item size. If possible I would like to buy one locally rather than wait for a mail order delivery.

Thanks for any feedback.

5/16" x 18 - (length varies depending upon arbor. - Should be near flush when tightened down on the quill shaft.)

Needs to be a FLAT point.

Thanks to both of you.

The file is great! I saved it for future reference.
