Hey gang,
As a bunch of you know, I'm very involved in a couple of robot teams, and the good news is I've pretty much gotten them to standardize on some common sizes of hardware. We have built adaptors for various items to make them use 1/4-20 on 1" centers - makes fitting things easy, don't have to wonder etc (for instance, out most common motors used to tale 10-32 on either 3/4" centers or 2" centers, with the bolts going into either the end, or side of the motor - now they use 1/4-20, and use through bolts
The think is, we have a dogs collection of 1/4-20 hardware - not enough bolts, and everything from socket head cap screws (good, come in the kit), to hex head (also good - actually probably better, we have LOTS of 7/16" wrenches) to things like round slot head 3" long full length thread screws.
I'd love to buy them a BUNCH of hex head screws (for my OWN use, I'd go socket, but...) from 3/8 long out to 2" or so - a LOT of 1.25" (because of the size of standard kit pieces) and a whole LOT of nuts (when I say a whole lot, I'm talking at least 500)
Anyone have a source with good prices? A place where I can get assortments of hex head machine screws in 1/4"-20?
