    Default Follow up on 80tpi screws

    I received the 1/4-80 setscrews with the ball bearing tips and the tap today from McMaster Carr. I redrilled and tapped the holes for the new screws and all I can saw is WOW!! What a difference it makes from the 40tpi hardware screws. Adjustment is so smooth and precise. I used to have to fiddle with it a bit. But now I can dial it in quick and easy.

    I strongly recommend these type of screws for anyone making mounts. Here is a link to where I got them:
    http://www.mcmaster.com/ Do a search for part # 98625A680.
    It won't let me link directly to the part for some reason.

    They also sell the 1/4-80 tap if you need it.
