M2 Grub Screws

[steppenwolf]

Is there such a thing as an M2.5 grub screw? As short as possible - I need a couple for a project that I am working on, does anyone on here have such a thing?

If you can't get any help with your request on SGL, you can get them here perhaps.

Morning Steve.

You can buy these from any of the majour 'fixings' companies online alternatively try a model making company.

If you cannot get 2.5mm then you may have to go down the old BA route.

Hi Steve, don't know if this helps, but I can easily make some from M3 bolts, cut down to length, and a screwdriver slot cut in one end. Free of charge, to say thanks for the talk you did at my club (Castle Point AC) I'm afraid I don't have anything smaller, but maybe M3 will do ?

You would need to use a 2.5mm drill, and then an M3 tap, from a good DIY shop.

Regards, Ed.

Thanks for your replies folks and thank you for your generosity, Ed - you've finally awoken from your deep sleep after enduring my talk then?

Ok, I will now have to get my micrometer out and determine exactly what it is I will require as I have an issue to resolve in that I will be using the the same threaded hole for two fixings, the grub screw and then a cheesehead bolt and I need to ensure that the two cannot contact one another when tightened!

Thanks again, I'll research further now.

Well Steve, I don't do AP but I still found your talk interesting, and I do know it was a great help to many budding astrophotograhers in my club.

Perhaps let me know sometime if you need the 3mm grubscrews. I also have some M3 with a slotted pan head. A PM would be best, as I don't always scan the DIY section.

Regards, Ed.

A bit late to the party but

I have 10 off M2.5 x 3mm socket head grub screws in my hand if they are of any use to you?

Drop me a pm if you want them and I'll post them to you.

I'm delighted you enjoyed my talk, Ed.

Thank you all for your generous input - I love this place!
