set screw size MP mold?

[cephas53]

Anyone know the size of the small set screw for the sprue plate bolt on a MP brass mold?
Thanks.

I don't have a MP mold, but the thread are guaranteed a metric one.
Measure the outside diameter of the set screw with a caliper - the (approx.) measurements are:

0.24 = 6mm = M6x1
0.20 = 5mm = M5x0.8
0.16 = 4mm = M4x0.7
0.12 = 3mm = M3x0.5

Thanks Cap'n.
Asked MP and got a very prompt answer.
M4x4 DIN 913 (pitch is 0.7mm)

I bought replacements at a business that specializes in fasteners. I bought multiple for like .25 cents each.
