    Set Screws

    Folks,

    I am in need of very, very tiny set screws that can be turned with a T5 hex wrench? Any idea where I could find them?????????

    Thx

    Any specific thread? Metric, inch, furlong...?
    Any chance these are the screws for an indexable cutter on your lathe?

        Two measurements, diameter of the threaded portion, and distance peak to peak on the threads. Most hardware stores will have a thread gauge that they can check it with to determine the size.

            My favorite is Allen's Fasteners. Here's a ;ink to a little (4-40) cup point socket screw: http://www.allensfasteners.com/detai...roduct_ID=0786 I didn't see any T5 sockets, but you might call them .
