Where is this part from?

Thanks for all the good feedback. I will do more checking today when I get time.

Checked yesterday and the screw on the miter gauge bar that holds the washer is the same size EXCEPT it is shorter than the 1/2" long screw I found on the floor. My next and last visit is inside the PP headstock.

I am not sure about the PP headstock as I was only in it once. Three places that the 3/32" socket style flat head screw are sanding disc hub, the miter gauge t-washer and in the end of the cam shafts on the new style casters. If you have the casters, I would bet on them for the 1/2" length.

When you say new style casters, are those the larger one's? My casters were installed in 1999.

No, I am referring to the aluminum end castings that were changed to accept the screw. There is a hole in the groove in the side of the casting where the small screw goes into the end of the cam shaft. The old style castings do not have a hole for this screw. I often find these screws missing or the heads broken off on used machines I purchased.

See post #3, below. The casters was my guess.

Thanks. I'll double check the casters tomorrow. I'll have an extra hour to do that with the time change.

1999 casters have the screw?

Found it. Thanks to everyone who pointed me to the casters. That is where it was from. Reinstalled it and checked the other three. One of those was loose and ready to fall out. Thanks again for all the help.
