Support Pole - Socket Set Screw Size

[Phlip]

With respect to the 4 socket set screws holding the support (stripper) pole secure. We lost one of ours, if you've experienced a similar fate & not sure what the size is, it's 1/4-28 (fine thread) x 1/4", uses a 1/8 hex (Allen) key.

OEM is stainless steel "cup point", ie: fastenal.com #73266 You can use a medium thread locker to adhere in place, if you ever need to remove the screw you'll need to heat gun the assembly to break the adhesive.

I opted for the alloy steel "knurled point" version, fastenal part #25424 providing more grip, holding power & less likely to strip out the hex socket when tightening/removing vs. stainless steel. Dab a bit of stainless steel coating or zinc primer to hide the black alloy finish if cosmetics are important.
