Does anyone know of a supplier for M2 Hex Headed set screws at least 12mm long?

 

Steel or stainless.

[john swift 1Participant @johnswift1]

Hi Kwil ,

I’ve only found pan head screws so far

from rs components  , rapid online and  modelfixings.co.uk

 

 

what are the screws for , and how many do you need  ?

They are to hold two components together under pressure and are to replace 8BA (not directly).   They must be Hex headed. 40+ required. Yes I found plenty of pan heads and only one source of hex, but they were gold plated price each!!

Polly Models list M2 x 15mm steel at £3.80 for 25

Hi Kwil

You could try here:-  http://www.avonstainlessfasteners.co.uk as well. They list M2 -M36 in both A2 or A4 grade. Phone number is 0117 972 8560.

Never had any dealings with them but saw them mentioned in respect of an enquiry for M2 hex head bolt/machine screws on a RCgroups.com forum.

Thanks John and Keith, will follow up.

There are suppliers on the Continent  for such things, at least there were when I went to the  Sinsheim show in 2000. I picked up some catalogues there, but they would probably be out of date by now.

This is one of the continental suppliers.

 

Why are you not making them yourself Ken

To screwcut on that size would need a roller box and I do not have one so small. Please (anyone) do not suggest using a tailstock mounted die!

[Lawrie Alush-JaggsParticipant @lawriealush-jaggs50843]

I made up a load of 10 BA screws in silver steel two weeks ago.  Turned the bodies on an old Emco Unimat SL and used the tailstock to get the die flat.  After that no problem.

Suggestion NOT well received

[V8EngParticipant @v8eng]

Have you asked the following suppliers?

en Francais!!  Mais non.

[TerrydParticipant @terryd72465]

Kwill, pourquoi pas?

 

They list 2mm metric in steel with both standard hex and small hex heads.  Most excellent I’d say and reasonable price and postage charges.

Je naime pas les francais

[VersabossParticipant @versaboss]

How about German? My friend Tony does not speak English afaik, but his sons do certainly!  As I know he has customers as far away as Japan, I think he would deliver to England also 

Compared to the french supplier, his prices seem to be ok. The stainless screws are turned also.

The list is here: 

Nooo, I give up trying to use this chain button, sorry!

What a loss just for a bit of Francophobia,  never mind.

Hansrudolf,

 

Sweitzer Deutsch!  I used to visit Basel (Hoffman la Roche) quite frequently and I stayed in an Apart -Hotel in Zurzach am Rhein!

 

I will email them. Thank you

Terryd   It all started with William the B******, followed by PITA Napoleon who invaded Portugal and finally GdeG, enough said!

Hey KWIL

 

If your problem is with the language then the translate tool in Firefox (Yahoo! Babel Fish) makes a pretty good  – or at least an understandable- job of it. If your beef is with the French (or any other nationality) then I suggest this is not the right forum fot it.

Hello all.

I think the statement by Mr Kwill is at least awkward. And deserves to be criticized.

He may not even really like each and every one of the French but must keep their statements on the subject for the family and friends. He can not forget that the forum is shared by people of other nationalities. I, being Portuguese, (does he like the Portuguese?)  will not venture even to direct me to him, for example asking him for help, since I run the risk that, even without knowing me, he can express some antipathy.

Or else I’ll have to wait until Mr Kwill publishes a list of people or countries to which he dislikes.

Best regards
Dias Costa
