Had this screw fall into the dust collector area while cutting not sure where it came from. M4x5mm black.
Running a 65mm vfd with the sweepy pro on a v5 pro 4x2
I found it.
One of the grease ports on the lower sliding guides.
I swear it took longer to take pictures and ask where it was going and then make an account then post then it shouldn’t taken me the figure out where it goes.
This happened to mine after the first few hours of use.
Check every screw.
Fell out of the oiler port I’m going to keep complaining about them not using loctite 565 till this issue disappears. Speaking of which if you didn’t mind doing a full maintenance vactra can knock the screws that were going to fall out anyways but if you don’t mind doing some work now it can pay off in the long run. Just brush a little loctite 565 near the middle of the screw threads (keep it off the leading edge preferably but it shouldn’t do damage to the bearing as it’s ptfe if anything it’s a lubricant.) and it only surface hardens in an anaerobic environment. This should prevent it from ever leaking again and your screws will be well seated untill you decide to take them out for maintinence. Also I got some quality zerk oilers and made a bit of a custom tool to oil them so I never have to do more than inject a few places with a syringe for maintinence.
