I am real interested in how this works for you. Please post your opinions about the part when they arrive. I browsed through their catalog and found several items that I am going to order.

The head depicted in the Fastenal catalog looks as though it might be pretty thick (it might protrude more than is ideal). You can certainly file it down so long as there is still a screwdriver slot to use.

That's great. I stopped doing business with Fastenal because of what they started charging me for shipping.

I have a couple of retail automotive businesses so Fastenal probably treats me differently than a normal retail customer. I usually get a discounted price and no shipping charges.:)

Here is a quick picture of the nylon screws from Fastenal installed int the mitre, 22 cents a piece. I purchased 10 so I have some extras if anyone needs some.
