Like a machine screw but larger and usually with a coarse thread. They
are 3/16 diameter and up in RH or FH. |

By definition a stove bolt is a machine screw with a square nut on it.
McMaster-Carr has these and for less then $5.00/box (educated guess) so don't spend to long shopping for them. Leigh at MarMachine |

Tractor Supply has them. I believe that Rural King also has them. They
carry LOT'S of hardware in bins. You pay by the pound. Bolts, nuts, washers, in grades 2,5 and 8 plus stainless and heavy galvanized. TSC Prices are $1.58 Lb.- Grade 2, $2.48 Lb.- Grade 5, $3.88 Lb.- Grade 8 These are Hillman produced. You can mix/match as long as you keep the grades separate. I never leave the store without a few pounds of various hardware to restock my wall bins. Just make sure you use the proper bags for each grade, they are color coded on the tags.

Do you mean 3/8"-16"? 5/8"-18 is non-standard, and a lot larger than his requirement. Damned good deal, regardless of description, assuming one has a need. Harold |

It's just taking up room in the shop at this point. If I had a need for 'em, sure, but more than a handful is wasted. It was an auction thing, I wanted what they sold them with. |

Looks like we all get a shot at being brain dead for a moment. I was thinking it was just me. Do you mean 3/8"-16"? Indeed I do. 5/8"-18 is non-standard, and a lot larger than his requirement. Damned good deal, regardless of description, assuming one has a need. It's just taking up room in the shop at this point. If I had a need for 'em, sure, but more than a handful is wasted. It was an auction thing, I wanted what they sold them with. I bought the furnace portion of my 50 kw induction furnace that way. Somehow, it got separated from the power supply, which was sold at auction at least two years earlier. If you haven't figured this out yet, is was a government auction, state level. No matter. They're just as screwed up as the feds. The guy that got the furnace was after a man lift that was in the mixed lot of items. . I was going to bid---and no sooner started to raise my hand and it (the lot of mixed goods) was gone. It is one case of feeling very strongly that the auctioneer had something going with the bidder. The entire lot went for $125, which I offered to the * successful* bidder for the furnace, after the auction. It took a couple weeks to conclude the deal. All it did is make the buyer suspicious, so he looked around to see how much he could get for the furnace, which, luckily for me, was nothing. Without a power supply, what good is it? Long story short, after the two pieces being separated for a couple years, they are now housed under a common roof. Auctions can be a good thing. Harold |
