I'm looking for a screw type for my B&D jigsaw.

If you input the model No that should get you an exploded diagram which
will tell you what the proper name/No is then you can order them direct
from the manufacturer (probably a very expensive route to take), get the
name/specs of it and see if you can source it from one of the shed/have
one lying about .

Depends - I've found B&D extremely helpful in the past: I contacted
their spares dept on the off-chance for a replacment handle for my
ancient Workmate bench/vice, and not only did they have one, they sent
it FOC.

Slightly OT, but speaking of helpful service departments, a few years
ago I was given a Marantz "Superscope" portable cassette recorder. I
contacted Marantz about the availability of a carrying strap for same,
and was promptly sent, entirely FOC, a strap and a service manual for
the machine, even though it had been out of production for quite a
while. Firms/companies like that deserve due support.

OK - it's old hat now using "analogue" and "compact cassettes", but it
does still work!
