Magnetic Switch on planer - replacement plastic screws

[Dennis Peacock]

I have a Powermatic 15S planer and I have a broken plastic screw that holds the mag-switch faceplate on. Does anyone know what those are called and where I can get a couple of replacements? The PM 15S manual does not list those as replacement parts but lists the entire mag-switch as a "part". I don't need the entire switch. :)

I have seen plastic or nylon screws in the specialty hardware bins at Home Depot. Do they have a standard thread size? Is there any reason they need to be plastic and can't be replaced with metal screws?

Our local Ace Hardware store has plastic screws in the specialty bins in the screw department.
