    I am relocating my blackbox under my Lead machine and will be making a bracket which will be held onto the rear of the blackbox. There are four similar threaded holes which is what I would like to fasten my bracket to with short screws.
    Does anyone know the thread size ?

    turns out the M3 is too small, the M5 too large, however the M$ thread fits. I'm off to Lowes.
    Thanks

    That should have been M4 not M$

    No M4 fasteners are in use on the BlackBox

    You are correct. My thread should have been referring to the back of the power supply and not the back of the blackbox.
    sorry about that.
    I have the bracket now mounted to the rear of the power supply with four M4 short bolts. The new location is just under the
    Lead 1010 table to keep it out of the cuttings dust and mounted with the blackbox with the special 3D printed bracket which hold both the power supply and blackbox.
