I have a Dewalt 321 top handle jigsaw. Over the summer, the screw

but the damn screw, wasn't with the parts!

I decided the other day to put the foot back on the saw and searched
all over
for the screw, but I didn't have it. Damn it.

Took the saw today to the local ACE. They had a ton of choices, but
no screw fit the hole. Ok, went on-line and it seems that most of
the parts dealers have it, but I'm sure I'm going to pay $5 to ship
it
to me!. ARGH!

There is no Dewalt service center nearby within a 25 mile radius, but
I'll keep trying.

Looking for suggestions. I don't know the thread or size of the screw
since
DeWalt doesn't list them on the part number. Fastenal has it, but the
local
one didn't have it in stock.

Frustrating, to say the least.


Excellent excuse to buy a metal lathe - at least a small one. Then you can
make your own screws !
