0-80X1/2 cap screws Where to buy them?

[MadDog]

#0-80X1/2" socket head screws

Any of you smiths out there know a place to get these screws? I only need 2 of the damned things but I'm not paying $22 shipping from the U.S.

Can't find any in my town. Amazon shows them but mailed from China and won't be here till March ffs.

Might want to try a hobby shop that deals in RC toys.

There are some tiny screws out in the garage.
No idea how to compare them to yours.
Vernier #’s?

0.060 major diameter. Across the threads.

60 thousandths.

Big, but not too big, for eyeglasses!

Yeah, I'd check any Radio Control Hobby store or possibly model trains store.

Hobby Lobby had a mail order outfit out of Edmonton, I am sure there are others closer.

Any nut and bolt supply house will likely want you to buy a box of 100. But probably for less than the price of shipping...

Ya I tried Fastenal, should call them fastensome cause they got jack sheet in stock and only in 100's if you order them.

Should call them F##k all cuz that is what they have in stock.

Acklands Grainger has them listed on their site, but, $43 for a box of 100.

Looked around a couple Hobby websites, and it's getting hard to find anything smaller than a #2-56. A lot of the stuff is Chinese made, so most of the smaller hardware is some form of Metric sizing.

All this and no one has asked.... what do they fit?

 

[MadDog]

Crimson Trace laser mount.

 

[Lead Sligner]

I wonder if a clock maker couldn't help. I see all kinds of clocks In for repairs when I get my watch batteries.

 

[MadDog]

Could check that I guess, gotta be a repair shop for clocks around here somewhere.

 

[guntech]

Crimson Trace laser mount.

If they were a reputable company they should mail a couple in an envelope free of charge...

 

[MadDog]

Ya the guy said he would and asked for the ticket number off my receipt which I'd already thrown in the trash.

Apparently Crimson Trace has some issues. My bad though for throwing my receipt away. I gave him the order number that I still had on the website receipt but not good enough without the ticket receipt. I don't care, F$$k them, never buy anothe CT product again.

On the upside a very nice member here is mailing me a couple tomorrow.

 

[guntech]

F$$k them, never buy anothe CT product again.

You should let them know that too...

They should ship you a couple screws no questions asked. I bought a 3rd-hand Vortex magnifier. I needed 1 small screw for it. I emailed Vortex customer service. They asked one question: "what is your shipping address". They expedited 4 screws to me. No charge, no shipping fee. They even put a note in the envelope thanking me as a customer.

 

[dero338]

if you post, I guess amazon was a bust. have you checked KBC, MC Master, smith industries, tenaquip and (Travers tools ishs last place I will buy stuff cause I cant find elsewhere

 

[buoff]

I have # 0-80 x 5/16" stainless steel.

 

[MadDog]

Thanks guys, got a pm from another member here that’s sending me the ones I need.

I do have watch screws, but none are 1/2 long, Kershaw knives have itty-bitty screws, with tiny tork bits about a 6 I think
