Looking for fasteners in EU
Hi all,
I'm looking for metric M1.6 and M1.4 bolts in lengths above 20mm, with a cheese or lens head, and hopefully philips bitting. Located in the EU. Does anyone know where to get them? I've been unlucky finding a source thus far. I can get 20mm slotted, but those are too short. I can't find above 20mm anywhere. Thanks |
I'm having trouble browsing the swedish version of the page, and the

english just outright disables orders... would you mind checking if they have these screws? On Sun, Oct 31, 2021 at 3:09 PM G?ran Krusell <mc1648pp@...> wrote:

I dunno what a "lens" head is, nor whether you are looking in the UK or elsewhere, but have you tried:

They just might have something near. Colin. -----Original Message-----

"They" don't make M1.6 at 20 mm length and this size is available from
Conrad as well as multiple other stores. Please don't spread FUD. I need a length above 20mm. On Sun, Oct 31, 2021 at 4:41 PM snapdiode via groups.io <snapdiode@...> wrote:

Thanks Colin, they don't have them.
Thanks Geoffrey, if I have to have them made then I'll probably make them myself at the local rent-a-cnc. Thanks G?ran. On Sun, Oct 31, 2021 at 10:08 PM cheater cheater <cheater00social@...> wrote:

You linked to the black one which only goes up to 16mm. It doesn't
matter. It proves nothing. The fact that some fly by night corner shop in China doesn't have a specific screw doesn't mean someone else won't have them. I posted here because people are helpful here, so take a hint from others and stop being negative. On Mon, Nov 1, 2021 at 12:10 AM snapdiode via groups.io <snapdiode@...> wrote:

Speaking of taking a hint, so far, you've found NO ONE that makes your ridiculous screw size. Have you considered they might not be made because they're not manufacturable? Have you looked at the aspect ratio? They don't even make partially threaded screws in that size. It's a good bet that your precious screws will be made in China by a "corner shop" anyhow. Even specialty shops stop at 10mm length. It's not being negative, this is an engineering forum, we look at facts. At least, we're supposed to. |
You might ask this in the model engineering group in groups.io or the
miniature machine tools group also on groups.io. Some of these folks make operational miniature milling machines and those must have a lead screw longer than 20mm (but likely also larger diameter than 1.4 or 1.6mm). When you see what some of these folks do, cutting an M1.4 x 20+mm screw does not seem unreasonable. They might also tell you to try M1.4 and M1.6 dies and thread what you need though I suspect the torque on the stock might be a problem. Steve H.

I have a small-scale CNC lathe here, but I was hoping to avoid using it for a screw of this size. |
The chances of finding anyone having that sort of screw in their portofolio are (very) slim to none, and even if they do you'll probably have to by several hundreds of them...
Solutions that may work for you are allthread with a soldered-on nut and cut a slot in it, or make your own. Joe Pieczynski has done a video on how to single-point (!) such small threads on a lathe.: |
Curious - how does he pull the stock out of the chuck while the lathe

he doesn't, it only appear so because the video is edited to shorten it.

Makes sense! It really looked like he was doing it... probably just a
