spending time grinding the head of a screw seems like a screw way to
spend my time.

I call Tim at the technatool service center and asked for a bunch of
screws. At 25 cents a piece its not a bad price considering. after a
little talking added a reconditioned super nova 2 to the shipment saving
a fair amount on it.

I have a couple nova chucks. ie supernova and titan

With regular jaw changes I've noticed that the screws have worn and
need to be replaced.

Woodcraft wants $12 for a set of 8 screws and craft supply wants $4.

I tried a local hardware store and they had similar screws but the
heads looked much larger.

Anyone know were I can buy these screws at less than 50 cents a piece?



Go to the hardware store, buy the ones that you _think_ have too large
a head and if they are too large, carefully grind them down on your
bench grinder. If you have a fine, frangible wheel, you should
neither mangle the screw heads nor compromise the hardness of the
steel.
