Metric Set Screws...
Have looked and called hi and low...
Need a half dozen ___GOOD___ M12 x 1.5 allen set screws (about 10-15 mm long)for HF end mill tooling. I've lost 2 end mills and adapters cuz the in house set screws that came with the original adapter "flowered" on me upon trying to remove them. I've often read to change out all far-east fasteners and I'm now in the process. Can't find them locally or anywhere else in the southwest. ANYBODY? TIA Bill |

McMaster-Carr, #99642A229. M12 x 1.5, 12mm. Pkg of 5 is $8.45!! Plus
shipping. Bolt Depot has M12x1.75 stainless for $.44 each. That .25mm makes a big difference. Bob |

Perhaps it is for *yours*, being too lazy to do it properly with trimming out the quoted material which need (and should) not stay, retaining only that needed to give context. But *that* requires too much thinking, I guess. However, as to a your request for a source for quality Metric hardware. Have you considered MSC? That is where I buy mine -- usually in a box of 100 at a time -- for less than Home Depot would ask for four or five of poorer quality. And if you don't know about MSC, you should learn. It is an excellent source for all kinds of things which hobbist machinists would want to purchase. And all it takes is one phone call (to register), and you start receiving a hardcovered 4000+ page catalog each year. And -- they will happily deal with small purchasers -- you don't have to be a big high-volume company to buy from them. Also -- at least here, I phone in before the evening cut-off time and it will be at my door about 3:00 PM the next day. (I'm just a bit west of Washington DC, and the closest warehouse is in Harrisburg PA.
