Mattia Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Bit of an odd question, but does anyone know of a european store that carries US threaded machine screws? Or a US store that'll ship? I need a few 1/4-20 threaded machine screws, countersunk, flathead, to mount my Triton router (US model) in my router table (I'm 99.9% sure of the thread, fits the other 1/4-20 thread hardware I have for bolting acoustic guitar necks, will be calling the manufacturer on Monday). The ones the router comes with are pitifully short (1/4" of thread), and I need screws with about 3/4" of thread. Only really need 4, 8 would be better since I'm likely so lose something, somewhere, sometime... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) I'll check this one shop near me about shipping. I recently tried to find a couple similar bolts for a cheap ryobi router I had and minus special order, no one carries them. I believe they were 5/16" and I guess few very places carry anything over 1/4". If you can't find anyone to get those to you, just pm me, I believe I saw those exact screws numerous times while looking for the 5/16" version, so I could mail them out.

herrie Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hello Mattia, I also use a lot of routers and jigs from the USA. Because I run a fulltime guitar repair business, I cannot afford any downtime because of a broken screw or something. So I have almost every type and size of USA screws in stock. Because I needed to order them in large amounts, I have more screws than I will ever use myself. My shop is located in Belgium, if you could send me an email (it's on my website) I will try to help you with the screws you need. groetjes vanuit het zonnige zuiden, Henny www.guitargear.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Sounds like a great offer from Henry. If you're not able to get them from our man in Belgium, I know a place in London which would almost certainly have them. It's a proper, old fashioned specialist shop, called 'Clerkenwell Screws' which sells nothing but screws, in every flavour available.

Mattia Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 e-mail sent! Setch, I'll be filing that one away for future reference.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 14 variants of 1/4" UNC and 13 of 1/4" UNF from ordinary steel, 12 UNC in stainless, all with six sided heads. Then we have ordinary screw headss, allen key heads and so on, all at www.sifvert-skruv.se They got an english version of their web page but the catalog is only in Swedish... Could at least be useful for future reference for the Swedes on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
