I will have to look in my box of ER parts to see if I have any extra knurled head screws. I know I have extra quill feed handles and the knurled head screws that hold the belt cover on. I will let you know if I find any.

If you do, and can part with it, that would be great! How long is the knurled head screw that holds the belt cover on? I received one with my machine that was about 1/2" long, but the threads are messed up on it. I could only find a 3/4" replacement at Lowes and I had to use a few washers with it. But even the 1/2" looks too long to snug down on the pulley cover without a washer or two.

If it helps, a local hardware store here in the LA area claims to have a large selection of hardware -- the claim being that if it's still made, they'll have it (or something along those lines).. They've always had any nuts/bolts/screws I've been looking for over the years.. Anyway, anyone got a photo of one of these -- I could always stop by if I know what it looks like? If you want, you could call too.. Their contact info is :

Got an EXTRA 10e/r quill HUB? Quill handles(3) screw into it along with a set screw to the quill feed shaft.

My PM folder has room for a reply. TIA

The threaded portion is 1/2" long.

This would be an excellent time to post some pix to illustrate who has what and what it looks like!;) Pix tend to include what we overlook describing with words.

That's pretty close to some of the knob bolts!

OK! They be thumbscrews! This would be a good time to let screw size(diameter-threads/inch x length) enter this thread.
