Hi

I did have one of these on my Chinese made slitting saw arbour. Why its not metric is a mystery.

Anyway, with the cutter continually tightening the screw, it went bang last week.

All of my efforts to find a replacement screw have come to nothing. I dont want to buy a sackful, just one or two

Any suggestions please

A local fastener specialist may be able to help, I've even purchased single fasteners over the counter – but it does depend on what they happen to stock. Otherwise search that well known auction site – quite common to find screws in packs of 5 at modest cost.

I think a lot of the stuff ex China is copied from, or aimed at the USA – hence UNC or UNF threads.

I've also used this company to purchase very small quantities https://www.margnor.co.uk/ (based in Guildford) They do over the counter and online sales.

Can recommend margnor – I use them quite often – their website doesn’t include all the more uncommon sizes so usually worth a phone call to check.
