Unless it is a misprint on the side of the holders but i even asked the company and theysaid it was that size. Its the 3/8 accusize lathe set from amazon.

Yea see i cant find the 2.5x6 just the .45 size

I'm betting what you are seeing is an M2.5 screw that is 6mm long, with the pitch unspecified.

That could be possible ill have to look tonight.

Yep, that sounds right.

Splat:

I found out why you cannot find the screws any longer... They are obsolete. The new Material Master # is 1260087. Price jumped to $1.37 each and as you claimed, the new min. quantity is 20 pc. More than a lifetime supply. I would send you some hardware for this, but I don't have any for the Circle tools.

Good Luck
Best Regards, Gary

Thanks Gary. I'll take a look around. I have a feeling it'll still be the 20-pack or greater for them.

So what size do you need Splat?

 

[Splat]

Technically, I need one QC15 and one CC11. Thank you.

You guys are great. One member graciously sent me a dozen screws he thought were the ones I needed but unfortunately weren't. I actually found a site earlier today, www.bscsource.com, that I was able to buy 5 each of the #3-48 (QC-15 for Q-series bars) and #1-72 (CC-11 for C-series bars). BSCsource's skus for them are 1963865 and 1260087, which are actually Kennametal's numbers for them since these are Kennametal screws. We shall see if I get them or if they need to be ordered in multiples like everywhere else. I did get an order confirmation, and shipping is supposedly free with no minimum so we'll see what happens.

Forgot to report back. I got my screws last Friday, which was within 24hours of ordering them from Bscsource! I was pretty amazed. I ordered 5 each of the ones I needed and they are the correct ones. Shipping was free but I couldn't believe they shipped them via UPS. So if anyone needs insert screws and don't want to order 20 (that's the lowest minimum I found on the Web) then check out Bscsource.com.
