I'm 100% sure of that, having checked the thread count with other nuts/bolts I have. Easy enough to replace, but annoying. The first design issue - be careful - the belt tension spring sometimes tends to slip sideways and push the belt out of plane, this not only rubs the belt but also pushes the belt towards the tableβ¦
