I have a niggling feeling I have asked this before (probably some years ago) but I can't find the answers if so.
I'm after supplies of small stainless steel woodscrews. Sizes down to
What I'm after is screws in the region of 2mm diameter and lengths from 10mm to 30mm. I'd prefer pozi head and countersunk but they're not absolutely necessary.
A2 stainless is fine, these are just for 'ordinary' outdoor use.
Any ideas anyone?
2 x 30 is a big ask but have you tried looking for self tappers and screws for plastic? essentially the same thing as woodscrews in use but these small sizes are likely to be more found in other applications.
Good Luck Bob
Well I've looked around in chipboard screws and self-tappers a bit but haven't really had any joy. Yes 2 x 30 is probably a bit hopeful but the shorter ones would be very useful anyway.
Must they be stainless?
Zinc plated Model 'servo screws' fit the bill perfectly.
Further to that they do seem to have stainless as well.
Look for a no 2 12.7mm pan head..
They do have to be stainless really, many will be used on a boat and my experience is that standard zinc/yellow plates screws don't last long before rusting and marking the wood. My TurboUltra screws seem to survive well.
I've ended up on their site several times but couldn't find stainless screws in small sizes, but you're right there are a few in there and they might fulfil some of my requirements, thanks.
I've also found:-
Really tiny screws, but maximum length of 12 mm.
I would go to a chandlers or look on ebay.
These'll get you to 25mm:
