Grub Screw

I've just put my lathe (raglan 5") back together after a little adjustment to improve the backlash in the feedscrew nuts. But one of the locking screws for the topslide has a badly work hex in the end and needs replacing. It's a 5/16"NC thread and 5/8" long, but almost any length would do. Does anyone have an odd one lurking in the workshop they wouldn't mind dropping in the post to me -I'll obviously cover any postage costs. Unfortunately I've only got bolts in that size and it must be a grub screw or it fouls against the slide. This email is live, so you can contact me on it.

Regards Kevin

If Peter hasn't got one, give me a shout, we have a big pile of new socket head screws in all sorts of sizes.

If it's a Raglan it would have been BSW

I share your sense of frustration Peter. In the last 10 days or so I have done varying degrees of research and composition of replies to requests for help posted on

one got yielded a response not a dicky bird from the others. Even if the need has gone away or been satisfied in another way, it surely still common decency to send an email reply.
