7 forum posts 2 photos	Does anyone know what the thread spec is for the love caking screw on the crash ss slide dial on a Myford ML7 ? The screw measures 3.47mm, but I can't seem to find a match on either metric or sae thread gauges. The screw that is currently in there engages in a m4 nut, but a m4x0.7 bolt does not go into the dial...
