Mitre 10 have a very poor range of anything other than metric. Blacks Fasteners in Chch should have what you need. Closed today - open tomorrow (31).

I can also recommend Konnect. Their main store is in Addington, but they have a small store in town, opposite South City Mall. If they don't have what you want there they can look it up and tell you if the main store has it.

FWIW (very little in these circumstances) Coastal Fasteners in Wellington are really good for this sort of thing. Might help someone stumbling over this thread later.

This is what I've got

Not a lot of brass left to drill out and retap and I'd rather just find the correct machine screws cheers

Off topic, but these are adjustable guide bars for mitre slots? Pretty cool if they work. Would be interested in a review/your thoughts once you've found the screws you need.

I would also be interested in how you get on with these bars.

Yeah. Ive been reading up on SAE, Imperial, UNC and Metric. Still none the wiser other than manufacturers / retailers here seem to mix them up :)

I have some 13/275th ell screws with the thread pitch at 29/456ths of a perch, diameter 1/5723th of a furlong, if anyone can use them.

It's a wonder anything in the US can get built at all with the bizarro set of units they have to work with, usually divided into equally strange fractions just to get something useful.

Just got an email back from Blacks Fasteners saying they don't stock them as ex USA. Just an FYI. Will follow up with a few others and let the masses know and will PM the folks that are interested in a short review of the microjigs

Yep. Thanks for that. They were my last hope but were closed over the holidays. Pretty much all of the others have now replied to say they don't stock that thread / size. Not sure how much Anzor will want per screw given they are 304 stainless by the looks of things.

Cheers

Try asking for a couple of 'samples'.

If their Wellington Branch is anything to go by, they won't cost you an arm and a leg.

Good luck

Yep. Looks perfect from what I can see. Given I will likely have a few of these jigs I may as well buy a big handful when I can get them.
