Hi Chaps. I need 1, or just a few more of M4 x 15mm, stiff thread grubscrews. The type with a nylon insert. Can't seem to find a UK supplier....... :scratch: David D |

Would Loctite Thread Locker do the job? Comes in various grades, from 'never come apart' to 'a wee bit stiffer' ! |

Don't know a supplier, David, but have resorted to two tricks in the past: 1. Cross-drill grubscrew and insert a short length of plastic which sticks out a tiny bit each side. I used nylon(?) strimmer line. May not be practical with M4. 2. Wrap with PTFE tape from my box of plumbing sundries (aka my "recreate Noah's Flood kit"). Andy |

Andrew, Andy. Thanks for the ideas Chaps...... :thumbup: I'm needing to replace the central, gib grubscrew/ locknut combination on my minilathe, with a flush fitting screw. To clear a planned carriage lock knob. Can't understand why none seem to be available. :scratch: David D |

If you have the thread depth, then you could use a hardinge style double grub screw. Hardinge use a short locking grub with a through hex hole (which is loosened before pushing the key through to the adjuster beneath). Bill |
