Steve,

Clearly you have me confused with someone else. 

I don't have a chuck for my lathe that would even hold a screw that small. I have no collet system for my lathe either so that is out too. And I'm too lazy to modify something like that when they only cost a couple of bucks. (When you can find them.) I'm up for a good challenge now and then, but it has to appeal to me first. And I have so many half finished projects sitting around here I'll never get them all done at the rate I've been going - or NOT going actually. It's not that important to me, because I don't have to find any screws. It's the same old want's vs. needs battle. It would be nice to have spares but it isn't critical.

Darren, I did get Ken's PM and while I was reading it I was reminded of something that he wrote in another thread some time ago about MSC being a distributor for Walter. I'm going to check with them and see if they can do a 'special order' for me. But that will be down the road because I'm too busy getting bounced around between doctors right now. 

 

UPDATE:  MSC got back to me much sooner than I expected. They are having the screws dropped-shipped to me directly from Walter, but I had to buy a pack of 5 of them to the tune of $17.00 + S&H  but what are ya' gonna do? "Buy, or buy not - choose one." ~ YODA
