Heat Set Insert for Ikea Camera Mount
Re: Heat Set Insert for Ikea Camera Mount
Also looks like they would not be long enough.

Those are Mil. Spec. you don't need that just get the regular 18-8 Stainless Steel Socket Head Screws you'll get a lot more for your money.
I'll have to double check the length I used when I get home. If you only need a few screws you can get them at any Ace hardware too

Those would be 2-56 screws: #2 size = 0.086 inch major diameter, with 56 threads/inch. They're not metric M2 screws and will not fit M2 metric inserts.CCRN wrote:used 2/56" screws
Similarly for 4-40 inch screws: #4 size = 0.112 inch diameter, with 40 threads/inch. Not equivalent to metric M4 screws.
If you need matching screws and inserts, buy both with the same thread and you're done.

If your not in a hurry and plan on ordering them just for this project I can always send you a few screws and inserts just pm me your address.

Re: Heat Set Insert for Ikea Camera Mount
Thank you for the offer. I ordered the inserts figuring I can use them for other projects as well. I figure I can get the screws I need from Home Depot or Fastenal.sthone wrote:If your not in a hurry and plan on ordering them just for this project I can always send you a few screws and inserts just pm me your address.

Thank you. It is amazing the variation and technology that goes into screws.

It would be way simpler if the US had gone metric, back in the day: I'd have more room in my tool drawers and maybe half the number of fastener bins on the shelves. [sigh]CCRN wrote:variation and technology that goes into screws
