Twin Cylinder Steam Engine
Darren:
Yep, marked up Stew, mixing these up would give me nightmares :bang:
This morning I've been looking at making an order for some 2mm screws....
What a price, these ARE expensive........very expensive...oh hum... :doh:
Edit:
Sorry, I saw M2 x 30 priced at 75 quid for x100, Kinda threw me :bugeye:
100 allen heads in 2mm x 16mm = 7.42
The same in slotted head is 3.11, half the price.
In these small headed SS screws I notice the allen heads can round off in a flash. Would it be better to use slotted in such small size from members experience?
I have a feeling they would be safer :scratch:

You are quite right Darren, they do strip out easily. When I exchange an engine I usually include a few in the spares pack for when the new owner strips them out.
If the matching of screws doesn't worry you, you would be better using the slotted variety.
