Found a Screw

[Stone Message]

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!

or losing your thread

how about the screws that hold the two sides of the blade housing on the ts 55. .

 

[Frank-Jan]

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.

here is a photo of the screw

i checked the 101 for those screws below the collet and nope not them, about the same size but the screws look exactly like the ones the
at hold the phenolic base on the bottom of the 1010

I've been looking all over for that screw!  Wonder how it got to SoCal???

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.

Im thinking Jesse might be right, I looked at the parts diagram and the screws for the phenolic plate they list as a qty of 8, count the holes on the phenolic and I count 8 ea. I did remove that black ring to change it with the chip collector black ring, So maybe thats its. Ill check EKAT to verify like scot suggested

 

[sancho57]

ding ding ding we have a winner

jesse was right, I checked the parts like I said about it required 8 screws but the phenolic plate only has 6 holes and 2 for the black ring.

Went to Ekat like scott suggested and that screws  part number is only for routers.

So Im about 99% positive the mystery of the found screw has been solved.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Im just happy it wasnt something that would could damage the tool

life is good

Another case closed.

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

You need to look at this as an opportunity to buy something new for your shop and help you to identify the screw.

I have now (thankfully) rusticated my Jet table saw and now only use my fantastic CMS-TS55R combination. A few days after getting the Jet I found a dowel bushing on the floor under the machine. With things like table saws the last thing you want to find is anything that is designed to keep important bits together. It took me a complete day to strip the thing down and it turned out it was used to hold the height adjusting handle on its shaft.

Flat pack furniture can be worse of course!
