Last night I was showing someone around the 60w cutter.

When I plugged in the pump, the air blew the air assist nozzle right
off.

Steve did some checking and the set screw that holds the nozzle in
place is missing.

On Rich's suggestion, I ran a magnet around the top and inside the
body of the cutter and turned up empty-handed.

We have the right size set screw, but not the correct thread...

I *think* it's 5/32 with a fine thread.

5/32 is not a standard screw thread-- it's either #8 (0.1640")
or 4mm (.1574"). 4mm is closer to 5/32 (.15625").

It's English, not metric.

I was going by the pretty pictures on the inside of the box. I really
have no idea what in the hell I'm talking about. :D
