Fletcher 2200 squaring arm replacement screw dimensions

Post by bang »

Hi!

I'm looking for a replacement button head cap screw to secure the squaring arm assembly into the base of a Fletcher 2200 mount cutter. It's the screw that goes into the angle brace and screws into the square nut inset into the side of the base. Do any of you know the correct dimensions of the screw I should be looking for?

I know it's part number 12-056, I've messaged Fletcher but didn't get a reply. I've also tried several combinations of screws and bolts from the b and q pick and mix, but no luck.

Thanks!

Being made in the USA, it is almost certainly a UNF, or a UNC thread. Probably not easily obtainable in the UK, but it might be worth having a word with Peter at framers equipment, as he just might have one in amounst his bits and pieces. ?He is a real good guy for finding stuff like this.
