I also lost a screw from the underside of the MFT/3. I noticed it by accident and I could not find the screw in the sawdust on de floor. Knowing that a metric screw was not available in my normal shops, I ordered it from Bob Marino. It arrived a few days later and he would not take any money for it. Great service. To prevent further loss, I thigthened all screws.

You're going to have a tough time finding where it goes if it turns out to not be a Festool screw.  |

Ima bit under the wether today so I cant post a picture but its the same type and length of screw that holds the brown phenolic plate to the base of the 1010 and the black ring in the bottom of the base of the 1010,''I checked them and they are there. So it isnt one of those. its little ands silver / chrome in color, in imperial sizes I would say its a #6 or 8 size machine thread
Yes it does drive me nuts

If you can convert it to metric Festool units, maybe we can guide you to the right spot. The form should be: M## x ## mm. That is the nice thing of metrics, you can use a caliper to measure the dimensions. My caliper has metric, imperial in fractions and decimals but no room for a #6 or a #8 size. I need a table for that after 67 years of metrics.  |

I think that I have finally caught on...this is a Festool Murder Mystery...
There is a screw, of unknown size, that we cannot be shown due to technical reasons. It has released itself from captivity only to fall to the floor and nearly disappear into the great screw heaven in the sky - the CTL 26. Meanwhile we are all in the drawing room whilst the great detective sums up and says...
It was Colonel Carvex, with the Surfix in the Festool Room!
Picture please - the rest will be easy.

Hi there fellow detectives! I've got two clues to where the screw might come from, if it's from the OF1010  By the router collet there is three screws.  and on the parallel edge guide there is two screws. Good luck! festoolviking |

Not to worry Meatman - Clue is available in NA and very popular. Only difference is that over here its Colonel Mustard, but I guess that would lead one to suspect Powermatic is involved.  |

Hi my friend, I think that I can remember playing Cluedo in the US at a party in Arizona in the late 1990s. I am sure that they will get the joke. There is an even bigger joke beneath all of this but it will take a while for me to summon up the courage to disclose it - now THAT is a mystery! [give me another year or two please] Peter |

That's funny...I recently bought a CT36 and MFT, and over the course of a couple of days, I found two identical nuts on the floor -- still can't figure out where they came from (pretty sure they are from either the CT36 or the MFT, but just can't seem to find anything missing).

There is nothing worse than finding your nuts on the floor! P |

My guess would be the screws for holding the little black plastic thingy under the base of the of1010 that keeps the clear plastic thingies of the dust extraction from falling out, when you don't have a guide bushing installed.

thanks Ill check that, I did notice that there were 2 empty screw hole around the black thingy on the side of the phelolic.. since I'm still under the weather Ill look at the 1010 parts diagram and see if they take one |

You might look at the parts list on the OF1010 and see what part number it looks like and then search for that part number on EKATS and find all of the corresponding tools that size screw applies to -- just a thought. I am having issues with Java loading on my computer, but I did a search without pictures and was able to find several tools that use the same screw just picking a part number off the list at random.

Have you had a friend with a wicked sense of humour visit recently?
If you're evil and happen to be visiting a tool fanatic, dropping a couple of interesting screws/bolts on the floor can obviously have a dramatic effect.
