The set screw is a 1/8" hex and is bright and shiny (a lot of set screws seemed to be black). Any idea where
this might have come from?
The aluminum angle gantry bracket for the x axis the red torch holder mounts too. Either came from the back edge facing the y+ direction or the bottom edge facing the table. These set screws are to adjust the bearings for the x axis. Put some teflon tape when installing them. Helps to keep them from backing out.

What Burgs04 said also in theory the adjustment is still okay as long as everything is tight with the socket head cap screw and nut for the bearing. The set screw is to pre load the adjustment and then you tighten the assembly. Once the assembly is tight you can snug the set screw slightly more to keep it in place.

Thanks for the information. It was the bottom set screw that fell out. I did replace it.
