I went out tonight to do a carving and had the Home sensor error. It kept showing blocked, when I touched it, it would clear then when I let go it would show blocked. That's when I noticed the screw is AWOL. Anybody know what size screw and thread size it is, I'd hate to bother tech support for a screw that I could find locally.

Thanks for the help Bill, I saw that thread and posted on it. :)
What I was looking for was a picture of the screw by itself showing the threads and length. I do not know if it is a coarse/fine thread or ¼” long or ¾” long. Mine is missing. I know it’s an aluminum housing and do not want to mess up the threads trying different screws to get a match. I was hoping the Bard would stop by and just say it’s a ……. type screw so I could get one locally.

Hello forqnc,

I don't know what time Bard gets in but for the most part he does
read the posts and I am sure you will be able to purchase that
screw locally.

Bill.

Looking at the picture in Bill's link, and having xray eyes, I'd lay my money on an M4 x 15mm bolt, and I think it's got a torx socket head.
If I'm wrong, I owe you a beer.

ps sorry it's metric, but there you go.

John,
It is a Phillips head screw and it looks like it may be
about 6 or 8mm I did not take mine out to look but
can see it is a Phillips head.

Draught or bottled ? ;)

Well, I would rather have the Draught but it may get flat by the
time it would get here. ;)
