Bolt fell off and I can't figure out from where

Good day. I had a bolt fall out near the back end of the Y-axis during a carving and for the life of me, I can’t figure out where it came from. It is M5 x 8 mm.

I’ve looked at the Bill of Materials, it’s not mentioned. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I should look?

P.S. The Longmill works great and now I can say I’m not the only one in my shop with a screw loose!

Check the drag chain bracket.

Do you have a dust shoe? My guess is on one of the screws on the extrusion area.

I do have a dust shoe, will check out that area also. Thanks!

Andy,

I forgot to reply earlier after checking out the dustshoe extrusions and want to let you know that you were bang on. All fixed up and working great again!

Thank you so much!!!

Dave
