What size screws do I need?
Thanks in advance

In lieu of that I'd suggest grabbing an assortment #6,#8,#10,and 1/4" in both fine and coarse threads and then another batch for 5/16 through 1/2".(cause you'll be needing one or another at some point for something anyway)
When I have that question and don't feel like looking through my jars and muffin pans, I grab the tap and die kit and figure it out that way.
Give me ambiguity
or give me something else

Tap and die is especially important. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 643 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 643 | ended up using the original screws
