Thanks again folks!

In my first post here, I showed a picture of the Mounting Bolt and Spacer. The picture below includes a non-OEM Mounting Bolt I received with a Jig Saw. It is the one on the left. You can see the difference in the overall length of the bolt and the length of the threaded end. This bolt can be used but does require washers to use as spacers. Without spacers the bolt does come in contact with the Drive Sleeve Spacer inside the Headstock before the Jig Saw is tightly mounted. This non-OEM Bolt can easily be spotted, when seen on its own, by the difference in the bolt's smooth sided head.
