Just posting to make sure I'm on the right track here. I'm in the process of ordering some replacement drive screws to reattach the lubrication chart to the spindle cone pulley cover on my 13". I measured the ID of one of the existing holes at 0.067" by inserting a number 51 drill shank through it. Would I be correct in assuming the correct size drive screw for this hole would be a #0 at 0.080" OD? :scratchchin:

Yes, is the short answer, but expect them to be a bit tight. I had the same issue when restoring my DoAll contour saw. These things are very hard. By the way, those are very good prices. I paid a lot more.
