I have a Skil 3335 SS and have been looking for an easier/quicker way to release the top of the blade (it uses an M4-0.7x25mm pan head screw and hex key...PAIN IN THE BUTT!). I can find them all OVER the place for M6 and up and in standard sizes (not metric), but the M4s that I've been able to find so far have been too short.
Any ideas? Lowes and HD have regular thumb screws in standard sizes in stock locally, but I'd have to re-tap the hole, but that blade clamp is an awfully small part to tap (not a lot of wiggle room, so to speak).
Thanks.
