TS55 Depth stop screw

[mdr]

My TS55, picked up used, never had the screw which acts as a standoff and adjuster for the depth stop. In fact, I couldn't figure out why the scale didn't obviously track to the blade depth until staring at it today and the light went on.

In any case, the festool sites shows a 4mm screw fitting here. When I insert a 4mm screw, the threads are very tight. I don't want to damage the threads in the plastic depth stop. Can someone confirm that the threading for the screw is very tight?

Thanks

Not all 4mm screws are created equal.  Is the thread and pitch count the same?

Now that parts can be ordered online direct through the Festool EKAT, it's probably safer and easier to just select the parts from the fische and have them shipped to you so that you know you have everything and it all fits and works together.
