    G0704 column bolts?

    Hi everyone, new to the forum and machining. Havent been in a shop since the old highschool days. I just got a g0704, cleaned it up, stand bolted to floor and the unit mounted on the stand.

    I aligned the spindle to the column and am working on (hopefully) aligning the column to the table. Looks like im .020 off but it appears I dont have the write size wrench for the column bolts.

    Does anyone know exactly what size alen/torx head they are?
