Dave, even if you found a FH screw 4-48 for little coin, how would you attach a flat face to it (and don't think you can put the screw in the middle, it would make a dimple and cause measurement errors.)


www.mutualscrew.com, LOL. that's a good one.

These work well, too. $30, but use a 25% off coupon for $22.50ish...

Really wish we had HF in Aus, will have to scour eBay for equivalent.

Came across these things via the woodworkforums.com, dirt cheap, could come in handy for use in setup jigs: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LCD-Digit...-/131033502537

Wow. Some of those look severely old and abused... Looks like they have had a hard life. Wonder what sort of work they were put to...
