Name that screw!

This screw appeared on the bed of my Shapeoko 5 Pro mid-cut. (It actually landed on the workpiece.) Here is sitting in the jaws of a 21mm wrench. It appears to be an M5-0.8mm screw and the threaded portion is 10mm long.

After a quick visual inspection of the machine, I cannot figure out which screw is missing.

Where might this screw go?

The bracket that mounts the drag chain? Underneath the X axis assembly?

The bracket that mounts the drag chain? Underneath the X axis assembly?

A good guess! Both drag chain mounts are still in place with two screws present.

BUT, while looking around the machine, I figured out that it’s from the Sweepy Pro attachment to the back of the z-axis.

Thank you!
