Where to buy machine screw assortment?
I'm doing an important project. Trying to thread a machine screw into some aluminum. Halfway through, the machine screw twists apart just below the head. The heads breaking off is not uncommon here. I don't put all that much pressure on them, so either I'm Superman or the machine screws I buy from Lowe's are made out of junk steel. I guess the upside is that at least the screwheads don't strip first / Is stainless steel necessary, or is there an assortment of zinc plated (or whatever similar type) machine screws/nuts made out of decent steel someplace on the Internet or at a USA chainstore? I need sizes like 6, 8, & 10. Thanks. |
