I'm considering screwing my Pro-edge to the top of a shelf unit in my shed-workshop so it will always be ready for use rather than having to move it to my bench and clamp it down.
I've measured the diameter of the holes in the four corners of the base-plate and they appear to be slightly less than 8mm.
This suggests to me that they will be too small for a M8 coach screw (I can't use bolts because the shelf unit is built from Speedframe with a piece of recycled kitchen counter on the top). I can't try it since I don't have any M8 coach screws in stock.
I don't want to buy the coach screws if they won't fit in the hole.
Has anybody done anything similar and can relate their experiences.
I wonder if the manufacturer is pandering to the market in the United States and has made the holes 5/16th inch?
I have no idea where to buy 5/16 coach screws!
Very many thanks
