Thread Size

[dandrea]

Does anyone know what the thread is for the two holes on the inside of the door? I'm making a dust collector hood and need to use the holes to secure it in place.

Thanks

The material is aluminum, you could tap it to almost any size you need.
It would be a through hole so put down some toweling on the sand belts to keep them clean. Just an idea for what it is worth.

There are two holes already there and threaded. Just wondered if anyone knows that thread size.

Icutone2, thanks for the welcome. I've been on here a while but I do more lurking than posting I guess! :D

but don't have unit available to check what it was. Some one posted it quite a while ago.

I think those holes are 10/32. I was using them to hold my DC in place when I first installed it but soon tired of having to unscrew the bolts every time I needed to change the bit. I found that my DC stays in place just fine without being bolted down.

I tried 10/32, 8/32, 6/32. Its either 8/36 or M4. Another trip out for fasteners I think! :D

M4 if anyone wants to know.
