CMS Router table crank part 495304

Where can I purchase a CMS Route table crank replacement part 495304?  Or -  should I just find a 7mm socket that fits from the top?

In sure you can call the Festool 800 number and get someone to get that as a part but in the interim I'm sure you can use a socket. Out of curiosity did yours break or grow feet?

Hmmm.  I think I just learned a lesson of the importance of a clean workspace with everything in its place!  I'm sure it's on my workshop floor somewhere.  It did not break.  Luckily I just found a 7mm socket that'll fit from the top of the table.  The first socket I found would not fit.  This socket will now be the official CMS crank and it's new home will be a designated router Systainer.

Now your thinking!

The official crank will hang in the slotted hole on the front of the table. It's very convenient.
