Aluminum Bandsaw Insert Leveling Screws

Post by Lodgepole »

Today I was spending a little time leveling up the bandsaw insert. Unfortunately, one of the screws is barely catching the threads. I would like to get a longer screw. Does anyone know the thread size of this screw? I have a local True Value Store. But I don't know if they would carry anything so small. Any suggestions on where to purchase a couple of these screws? Thanks for any help that anyone can give me.

Screw threads problem, or a threads in table problem?

Think set screw.

Not clear how a longer screw would help.???

Lodgepole - I had the same problem. Solved it with an order from McMaster-Carr. You need part number 94355A722 from them.
