As far as the base metal's strength, doesn't matter what the makeup of the setscrew is. If too much torque is gonna break it, too much will break it, regardless of screw's composition.

(I used to build airplanes for Douglas, and we had to know this stuff.)

Thank you for that feed back!

I used to ride regularly in airplanes built by Douglas but I never needed to know any of that stuff.

Strangely enough, I did not know that stuff even though I used to conduct destructive environmental testing on communications and navigational equipment.

Yep. But unless you order these along with some other items, the shipping cost is prohibitive. To say nothing about $.80 for a $.07 set screw.

Yes, I know. There are shipping charges on a bag of 100 also.

Didn't Shopsmith just put a maint kit on sale, a few days ago, that had ALL the setscrews in it, along with a bunch of other parts?

Yes, it's more expensive, but like dusty said, "shipping." (And besides, you'd get a bunch of spares.)

I even thought about it, but realized, nothing would fit my museum pieces.

The Help Kit has five different set screws, far short of the total number of different set screws used.

For what it might be forth, I am going to post my list of set screws here on the forum again. I have made a couple of additions and at least one correction. I had previously listed PN 222460 as being 3/4" long when it is actually only 3/8".

The point types shown on this list are for the most part based on my own experience with the equipment. There is very little Shopsmith documentation that declared the point type.

I am so sorry for the exceedingly long wait time for this response. This is worse than at the VA.

Fastenal will sell some of their items (not all) in quantities less than 100.

Example:

What is the number in the second column?

I don't know which number you are asking about. Are the columns not all labeled?

If it is the SKU number that you are asking about, Stock Keeping Number (SKU) is an inventory control number used by the vendor to locate and track data regarding that particular part. Many suppliers (maybe all) use the SKU system (or some form of it).

The defense contractor that worked for discarded the SKU system and controlled everything imaginable using the part number. Our problem became an unimaginable long list of part numbers. If any change (I mean any) occurred to an item, its' part number changed. An assemble that had been constructed using stainless steel set screws would have a part number different than the same assembly that had been built using steel alloy set screws.

The bean counters loved it. There was nothing that they couldn't tell you about an item in inventory. The manufacturing folks hated it as did quality control. Bean counters won. The Checkers loved it too. There was always a backlog of drawings that needed to be "Checked"]rlkeeney: Sorry for the stupid question. I was looking at the wrong chart and trying to figure out which column was being referenced.

Beeg: Yes, that is the item # for the part in the Shopsmith Parts List. Notice that there can be two items with the same number. Example: Jointer item #6 and Mark V Headstock item #6.[/color]
