Lately I seem to be wishing for itty-bitty screws. I googled around and found suppliers and cool charts but it looks like $0.12 ea. in 100 qtys. for one size. I have yet to find an assortment. I haven't found taps cheap either. There's probably a big bunch of tips about handling miniatures and just how are threaded holes measured? And do you use an ittsy- bittsy thread gauge? ...and I have trouble with #4s...
Miniature screw assortment?

I think MSC sells taps down to 000-120 or thereabouts.
And no they're not cheap. And you won't find them at the ace hardware store, either.

They don't seem to be any cheaper than anywhere else. But they have screws down to 00-90 (and the taps and dies). They don't have assortments though. Mike
Contact a watchmaker's supply. They have screws so small you need a magnifier just to see them. I used to have a full set of watchmakers taps & dies, but a so called friend borrowed them and moved away in the night. Bugs

#4's are the smallest I stock, it's the real "itty-bittys" that I'm talking about. #4's ARE getting smaller though, as my eyes deteriorate.
I find a place called Micro Fasteners cheaper than Micro Mark.
Tom - Are the #4's Wood or Machine ? Hope you find what you are looking for.
