[TheForge] Machine screw size?

[ries]

Lots of odd sizes in older tools and machines.
10-28 is not uncommon, actually.
Sure its not a No. 12?

Thanks for all the input.  Its not bottoming out.  The hole goes all

thru and does the same thing from both sides.   I'm guessing its about  
30
years old, no markings at all.  Not a valuable piece, just a nice little
plane.  10 - 24 too small.  I guess I'll try lowes on my next day off  
and
see if a small metric screw fits, and if it doesn't try a 10 - 32 tap  
on the
hole.  Or come to think of it I may be able to try a small metric tap  
and
see if it fits.
