Bosch GKF600 base bolts

[SamG340]

Hi does anyone know the correct size bolts for the base of a Bosch GKF 600 (colt in the US) palm router

I can't find anything about it online
I think they're m3.5/15mm but I want to know for sure

Underlined in the first pic, part number 855/21 in the diagram

Thank you

Problem solved.

Plug socket screws are m3.5, they fit but are a bit loose so m4 should be perfect. Ordered and on the way

Engineers that use M3.5 mounting materials in designs should be taken out back and.....
If it is metric, it is probably M4, standard lengths are 12,16,20,25,30
But I would say, based on the picture, M3 is more logical as it is screwed in quite thin material, and the smaller pitch of M3 would help to get more full threads and better retention.
I think M3.5 is defined in the standard, but definitely not a preferred size for mounting materials.

I have that router and it is great, but why the UK version has been made not to take the 8mm collet is odd, the armature has not be drilled the same as the euro version for some reason. This is a handy Bosch Base Plate GKF600 - Solid Aluminium Base Plate - FC Tools

Allows the use of guide bushes and a more stable face or you can get Bosch Router Sled for Bosch Router GKF 600 - FC Tools which will allow you to use it with a tracksaw track.

I'm going to try both m3 and M4 we'll see how it goes, thank you for your help

I am having a break from some plumbing and so will go and look at my GKF600 and let you know the size of those screws. They will be metric which is good because Triton use imperial like so much american / canadian stuff.

I would say they are 4mm. Electrical backbox screws are 3.5mm and are too lose, 5mm don't fit so 4mm.
