M4 "Nylock" Grubscrews.......

(1/5) > >>

Stilldrillin:
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:

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

andyf:
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").

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:

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).
