No not me, one that I found on the floor in front of the machine, any ideas? It might be from something else in the shop, but it does have dust on it similar to the corian dust I'm working with. It's less than an inch with a allen head.
Thanks,
Gary

It looks like a screw that normally has a spring on it for the z and/or y motors. Check both motors to see if it's missing...also, you might look for the missing spring, too.

Yep. Looks like a tensioning screw for the Y or Z axis.

Check the parts list on page #8. I think it is part of the tension assembly bolt/screw # 130 & 131.

I think it is part 63 which holds on the Lockdown Clamp Arms 64 or 65. There are six of them, three on each side of the machine. If you try the locking lever you may be able to tell which side it came from.

Thanks everyone,
And the answer is ......... outfeed tray screw! Since I was running a project at the time and nothing sounded out of place, I stopped the machine and pulled and pushed everything gently as I could looking for something loose, found nothing so I continued on and finished the project. After checking every "Screw Cap Head Shoulder", I found it to be from the outfeed table.

Good one Al!

I had a heads up on this one ( al2888dj probably also) as I had the screw come loose (I still have a few!) a couple of months ago.
