replacement post screws

[DeathBYzombieZ]

I stripped the screws on my stillare. Where do you guys suggest I get new screws and what do I need to look for?

It's a M2.5 X .45 X 4

You can find them on ebay.

I suggest you look for cap head screws and a good hex driver. You won't strip that without some serious effort. 2mm cap heads will take a 1.5mm driver.

Agreed, I use grub screws in all of mine and they are preferred because they have no heads. Threw a magnet on my build table and just toss the allen wrench on them so I can always find them when they are needed for a build.

This brings up 2 thoughts for me.

1: I bet there are quite a few people on this forum that would get absolutely geeked to find something like a small cowrc.com magnetic build mat.

2: Just random banter. I use a 1.5mm driver on all my posts. If the post is 2mm threaded I use 3mm or 4 mm long cap head screws. 2.5mm gets button heads. 3mm gets grub screws. Helps when I'm on the road. Can only fit so much crap in a big rig.

I have a driver set for the three sizes I use, it travels with me. That being said I'm not going across the country and work 7 minutes from my house.

Let's get really geeky and use torx heads and an in/lb torque wrench on em. They should take about 12 in/lb.

No dorx heads for me, thanks.

Yo dude. You told me the wrong size screws. I waited a week for them to come in just to find out they're the wrong size. They're too big.

Sorry man, I have M2.5 in mine. I'll take them off your hands and send you M2, shoot me an address via PM and I'll get them in the mail tomorrow.

DeathBYzombieZ, I'm sending you a variety pack, thumb screws, grub screws and Philips. All tested on a M2 topper.

I'm "tickled pink" by your link! I'm always dropping things and your link to the website was wonderful. Here are the mats available: Magnetic Mats for anyone else who is interested.

Thank you beckdg!
