Almost finished the table for my recently acquired MOF001. After rooting around in my big box of misc. screws and bolts I found 4 suitable mounting screws, cut them to length and mounted the router in it's insert plate. So far so good. Until I put a template trimmer in and found that the bearing only just comes above the table at full raise height. I need to mount the router without the base plate to give the extra adjustment height.
And now we come to where I'm stuck :-
The mounting holes appear to be imperial. According to the manual they're ¼"-20UNC X 5/8". Here in Norway imperial screws/bolts are as rare as dragons teeth - impossible to get hold of.
The obvious is to shorten the screw I've already used, but they are not threaded alll the way up to the heads; they have approx 10mm shank and this is enough to make them useless.
What I need is four ¼"-20UNC X 5/8" screws with allen-keyed countersunk heads and no shanks.
This old thread addressed the same issue https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums...postorder=asc&highlight=triton+screws&start=0
Is there someone that can help me with this 'cause I'm really stuck ? I will gladly refund cost and postage - should be nothing more than an envelope with a slightly more expensive stamp. Please - I'm (almost) desperate
