Grub screws for newer guide rail connectors 577039

[pgrbff]

Can someone let me have the part number for the larger grub screws? It was only a matter of time before one fell out and I couldn't find it. Can't find it on the website.
Thanks

I ask because here because Festool UK tell me they can't find a drawing for 577039.

Well, I believe this is what you are looking for. I don't which screws you need whereas there are two different ones. Here in the US they cost $2.12 each and $2.76 each.

Sorry, I can't see the numbers on the drawing. I'm looking for the screws for the bottom, expanding, rail. The numbers only go up to 4 in the description.

Says it's an M7x0.75 thread, so maybe you can find it locally or online for less/faster ship.

M7 thread size is really odd ball, in metric land thread sizes in general are 2,4,6 etc

Grub screws don’t skip sizes (metricmm) Available in every instance. But there is an upper limit, I guess.

Ignore me I didn't read the quoted size properly.

I have seen them described as tapered however, and this would make sence but I'm sure it is easier to tap the hole in the bar tapered than manufacturing a special grub screw.

This is such a coincidence, never in my life have I ever come across an M7 thread, but just today I finally got around to fixing one of the mandrels on my rivnut tool, and lo and behold, it's an M7 thread on the retainer end!

Luckily i had the full range in my tap and die set!
