Boy, this group is quiet atm !
I'm trying to source M8 square headed toolpost screws but google
doesn't seem to be much use. Does anyone here know of a UK supplier
who actually stocks these ? I tried my list of usual suspects but
can't find anyone who lists them.
Thanks,
Mike

I wanted some in M10 or 3/8" for a batch of toolholders that I was
making a few years ago, my local bolt supplier got some in for me but
he had to get a box of 200 from, I think, Germany & they weren't
cheap.
I've still got some spare if anyone needs any in M10.
Someone was selling them on ebay in small batches a while ago, may
well still be doing so, I think they were Whit threads though. Worth
checking, I think.

Is it such a big deal to get some 8mm bolts and mill the heads square? Or
just use cap heads or hex bolts anyway? I have square headed toolpost screws
on my Student but I really wouldn't be fussed if I had to use something else
if they all broke. It's only a machine.

Ah, perhaps that's a difference between a pro and a hobbyist. I'm sure if
were a pro with a workshop full of machines I would think "its only a
machine", but that one single myford I have in my "workshop" is my baby!!!
So, if its supposed to come with a square headed anything, than that's what
it must have. I guess its like having to have the correct grill or wing
mirror on a vintage car.
No, of course its not rational :) !!!!
