Thread: tiny screws

    tiny screws

    I have a recycles maple housing I'm building. It's al over but final assembly. I have a panel I want to mount but I'm unconvinced that I want it permanently mounted so I'm looking for some tiny screws - smaller than #4.

    I haven't found anything smaller than #4

    Any one know a supplier?

    Try a local hobby shop. Airplane, car/truck, boat kits and parts. That's where I go for screws so small I wonder how they make 'em.

    My local True Value hardware carries brass screws down to #2. Check your local yellow pages for an industrial fastener supply house. Most will have a walk up counter and take off the street trade, though you may need to buy a full box of small screws.
