Knurly bit for sliding table

[realgandy]

Morning.

In the excitement of our first outing, somehow the knurled bolt that stops our table from sliding from side to side got lost. How that happened is anyone’s guess.

Burstner Ixeo Time IT 585 with a table that slides in two directions and rotates. This is the bolt that stops sliding in one of the directions, as shown in picture.

I’m after advice from anyone who actually knows what I need to buy (what am I searching Amazon for?). The size/type of the screw thread is probably the important bit, but how do I know what it is?

Thanks!

I'm sure it will be in your van somewhere (assuming it was there in the first place) !!

eBay sell them for lawn mower arms ....?

The thread will probably be a standard metric just measure the diameter.

You’d think, but an hour of crawling around on the floor and poking fingers into any little cranny it may have fallen into means I’ve given up looking. I know it’ll show up when a replacement appears!

We have the same on the table in our Burstner. Dropped out quite often so it became part of the pre-departure routine to check they are both tight.

I think they are M.8 on ours.

Search, as Lenny HB says for M.8 Thumbscrews.

Thanks - I think I know what I'm looking for now.

All done. New knobs bought and they work beautifully.

Thanks for help
