    Screws to fasten rotary fixture mercury II

    I seems to have put the screws to my rotary fixture somewhere where i cant find them, so i wounder if someone can be nice enough to measure them (prefereble with a photo) so that i can find some exchagable screws. If someone know what thread it is would be helpful to.

    I never got any, and I probably wouldn't use them if I had them. If something goes wonky,
    I wouldn't want that head crashing into a rotary attachment that won't move! at least
    if it isn't bolted down, the head will push it out of the way.
    Then again .. I almost never use the rotary in it's 'correct' position anyway. I move it
    around according to what I'm engraving.. most of the time it sits up under the left
    rail, on top of the ruler (no cover on it)

    But I have plenty of screws I can try and I'll see if I can find out

    Checked today m6x1.0x20 I bought some exra in case I lose them.I always tighten my rotary down now.I have run jobs and bumped it while changing pieces and ruined them before .When the rotary is pluged in on my machine I have not way to move the y axis .I can slide the rotary left and right but there is no need thats what the offset setting is for.

    .. except for engraving those things that are juuuuust a few inches longer than the rotary.. and
    you disassemble it and stick parts down with duct tape and a prayer..
