Screw Hunt

[dexyweescot]

I have been looking for ages to try get countersunk screws to screw down glass spigots to wood. The counter sunk is 20mm and the screws only need to be around 30mm.

Anybody know where I can get some?

I have attached what I have.

Surly you can get them anywhere?
A quick google search pulled answer up for me.
30mm countersunk stainless screws for wood. We have hundreds of them in work for stainless steel handrails.
Just wondering if 30mm is long enough as you did not mention what weight its holding as glass is heavy.

Over 10mm head diameter (holes are shown as 10mm above) is quite a size for a 30mm wood screw I thought.

Is the hole opening not 10mm to allow a 6mm screw, and head 15/16mm dropin to 20mm?

I just thought it sounded big, having a quick look it seems common though. I don't know much about wood fasteners .

I could go a longer screw but the ledge where it's sitting is only 25mm MDF. Most I have found are actual bolts rather than a screw.

 

[river4ever]

Then you can only use 30mm mate.
You will catching 19mm on the MDF.

We get all are good from local trader.
But look here:
6mm x 30mm Stainless Steel Wood Screw Thread Pozi Head A4 Pack of 25 - GS Products

Of course you dont need that amount, im sure somewhere close to has them in smaller amounts.
But only £2:50

I have just found these but expensive. No data sheet for the #10 but the #8 has 14mm head. Its for interior so don't don't to be stainless either.

Only need 8 buddy. That would be gratefully appreciated

Had a look for you there mate, we do not have them with 20mm countersunk head.
But have loads of the bolts 30mm long with 20mm countersunk head.
I drilled an 8.5 hole in the MDF and was seriously tight to get in. So it will do if you want them mate?

 

[dexyweescot]

It's ok mate, I'll keep hunting. Thanks for trying tho
