logohigh Report post Posted October 2, 2020 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 Duncan ( Sail/cover maker ). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted October 2, 2020 They will be metric thread. Contact an industrial sewing machine dealer to get the right parts. Don't ruin the threads to save a few bucks on local, wrong pitch parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Constabulary Report post Posted October 2, 2020 they just cost a few bucks - sample: https://www.college-sewing.co.uk/9400000013-992003376-needle-plate-screw-adler-genuine.html 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Constabulary Report post Posted October 2, 2020 Thant surprises me cause CS is selling OEM screws as it seems. You never know if one of the previous owners bubba`ed something on the machine. Used machines can be tricky sometimes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

logohigh Report post Posted October 12, 2020 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
logohigh Report post Posted October 12, 2020 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
