Nico619 Report post Posted November 7 Hello, i recently bought a Singer 18-2 machine, and i need to change the two screws on the wheel bar (i'll post a picture of which ones). I bought the screws used for the seiko tf series, however they're too big. I found a parts list for the singer 18-2, but it doesn't mention the size of the screws or anything that can help me to track it down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted November 8 (edited) The original set screws used by Singer in the 18-2 were #457. That screw is obsolete. It was either 3/16" x 28TPI or 15/64" x 28 TPI. Only way to know for sure is to try each of these size screws in the hole. I cannot find an original spec on the screw other than screw above or below it in the Singer screw chart. Hope that helps. glenn Edited November 8 by shoepatcher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nico619 Report post Posted November 8 thank you very much! the ones i bought that were on the seiko tf parts list were indeed the 15/64" x 28 TPI, which are too big. The other option you gave me seems to match the screws that are in there now, so maybe they'll work. I just need to find them now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted November 8 (edited) screws from other singer machines may fit as well. I´d check for Singer 16 or 31k screws but would compare the parts lists first. Edited November 8 by Constabulary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
