Title: 6/0 screw size?
Post by: STRIPER LOU on April 04, 2018, 06:47:15 AM
Hey All, I need the screw thread size for the 6/0  if you know it. Don't have one to measure but if I recall, its larger than the 5-40's on the 113H .

Cant believe I don't have any of these around here. Looks like time for a McMaster order.

Thanks in advance,  ..  Lou

Hi Lou,
Pretty sure the 6/0 uses 8-40 side plate screws and 10-32 bridge screws.

Just found this old thread that confirms 8-40 & 10-32 http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=17483.0 (http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=17483.0) It sounds like the 8-40 might be a bit hard to find in stainless.
