Where to get ONE 6-40 machine screw?

Agreed, 6-32 is an ugly looking thread.
But 10-24 is just as baaaad IMO.
I try to avoid these in stuff I design and build.
Yes. Not for appearance, but the minor diameter is low compared to the
fastener size.
While looking for 6-40 I ran across taps I have, labelled #7-40 and
3/16"-48.
I've got a 1/4-40 tap & die. No idea why. Anyone need it?
Used a 9/32"- 32 tap on a little custom design job where nothing else
would have done.
I like collecting odd-ball taps!
Hm. Got a left-hand 6mm die?
