The screws from college sew have a 7mm head which would leave them proud of the plate ...

 

perhaps they are for a non OE plate

Turns out the nearside screw hole is fubared , screw just drops in  .....other side is better Thankfully !

 

must taken a long time to get like that 

i would naturally assumed the machine would be harder than the screw

im guessing at this  point its not the machine screw thats the problem  - damn

Most industrial sewing machine dealer should have them.

And it would not surprise me if they have the same threading as singer 111 needle plate screws but I´m not 100% sure

i bought these exact  ( im in UK ) , they dont fit 

 

-  that was when i went to specialist nutn bolt store who have a great rep for getting what you want 

 

Thanks all for replies !

Hi 

hope this is right section 

 

is there anything special about needleplate screws ..?

iv been to specialist nut n bolt shops but the ones come away with are either not the right thread - or possibly the thread they are going into is fubured  ...

Either way. the head is too big .Should  be 6mm
 

TIA
