(Gladiator NXT) Base plate screw specs?
Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2021 3:17
While assembling the Gladiator NXT Premium L I've just purchased, I noticed that one of the chromed Allen screws used for securing the base plate arrived with the hex faces rounded off:
In this condition, I find it impossible to install the screw. All other 3 screws worked with no problem at all. Since shipping from China/Russia/whatever to here (Argentina) is slow and very expensive, I'd prefer to go to any hardware store here and buy this screw. I have two questions here:
1) Which screw should I buy? I mean, diameter, pitch and length? Looks like an M2 x 8 mm, but I'm not sure.
2) In the meantime, which one of the 4 holes in the base plate can I leave unscrewed?
