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.
