Table Widener Screws

[EdSweeney]

I have a Table Widener (493233) and need to buy some more screws  (M4x12) to attach to my 1400 Router.

Any suggestions where they can be purchased?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know the exact screws that are needed, but you will probably find them in any decent hardware store. The large home centers don't always carry a wide selection of screws, but most smaller hardware stores seem to.

If you can't find them locally, try Festool parts or McMaster-Carr.

Every screw you need for any Festool tool is sold by Festool as a spare part. Contact them or your dealer.

As Rick mentioned, both Lowes and HD have metric bins in their hardware aisle.  They are separated from all the imperial hardware and much smaller in variety and quantity, but you may find it there.  Biggest issue I've had is nobody seems to pay attention to stock or organization there, so if they have a bin for the specific thing I need, it's empty or has some other part sitting in it.  More often than not, it's proven to be a waste of my time and gas.  I'd check with Festool or McMaster.  Either can get it to you quickly and the shipping expense saves you the time you would have spent grumbling at the big box store.

I specifically said hardware stores, not the big box stores. The big box stores are notorious for NOT carrying anything people actually need.  [tongue]

I ordered some from Festool.

I think you need Festool Part No. 228737 M4x8 Flat Head, but you should be able to check with Festool Parts.

For further information, see the following, the latter of which has a nice photo showing the two different screw type locations;
