Anyone found a good source for odd screws in the SF bay area ?
Tried to find a "cheese head" metric screw today, no go.
Its for a machine part, so yea, it really needs to be a cheese
head (its the blade keeper on a 16" triumph paper cutter).

Being right is more powerfull than large corporations or governments.
The right argument may not be pervasive, but the facts eventually are.

I have had good luck dealing with Bowlin Equipment, 1107 10th Street,
Berkeley, 510 527-8282. If they don't have it, they can often suggest a
source, and they're really nice people.

Fastenall, http://www.fastenal.com/ has more than 1400 stores. Got to be one
near SF. If they ain't got it, it ain't made.

Try down around the docks, say Bay Street. I don't know if they
troll Lombard or Broadway any more with all those cops. What?
OH, you meant HARDWARE, didn't you. Sorry.

Oh, that's what you're after. Try these guys in San Jose, less
than an hour away (non-rush-hour on a good day.)

Or you might run it past a print shop. They might know the local
hardware sources pretty well and could point you in the right
direction if they didn't stock one.
