Looking for 10 UNF grub screws

If you come across any 3/16 BSF they'll fit, albeit they'll be a free fit. May not help much, but doubles the chances.

.............and if 3/16" BSF will sort of fit, 2BA won't be far behind. M5 isn't too far off either

Emkay screw supplies do a good range of UNF including the ones you want:

Why not get slightly longer cup point and turn the dog point? I need to speak to my fastener supplier tomorrow I will see if he has any.

Hmmm...on reflection, the probably stock cup rather than dog point; however, in the past they have been helpful in finding stuff that they don't keep as normal stock items, so probably worth getting on the dog & bone to them.

Thanks Richard. Martin

That's what I did when I replaced the grub screws which adjust the gibs on my lathe and milling machine with cap heads.

Though I'm not entirely sure whether they should be called dog points?

(I couldn't properly get to grips with the tiny hex hole in a grub screw for accurate adjustment, the holes kept stripping; used cap heads with larger holes instead).

That's what I did when I replaced the grub screws which adjust the gibs on my lathe and milling machine with cap heads.

Though I'm not entirely sure whether they should still be called dog points?

(I couldn't properly get to grips with the tiny hex hole in a grub screw for accurate gib adjustment, too much slop and the holes kept stripping; used cap heads with larger holes instead, much better).

If stainless will do then try

Thanks Bob, it seems they only supply cup point screws, which I can get locally. Martin

It appears that Allfix have them in 7/16" long, but at £336 per 100 I don't think I'll be buying from them! Martin

Sorry no, but I still do not see why you cannot re-machine the available cup point to dog point?
