I went to install a thicker blade on my Stanley No. 7, but the machine screw holding the blade to the chip breaker is too short to engage with the threads in the tapped hole of the chip breaker, because of the thicker blade.

Does anyone know the thread size and pitch for this machine screw for a Stanley Bailey No. 7. Any ideas on where I can find a longer machine screw?

Thanks.
