Most of whats advertised as brass is just plated.

I had the same problem and ended up with stainless steel.

OK, here’s the thing. I’m making lazy susan’s and when I need to fasten the base with bearing I drill a hole in the base and have to screw the base to the main (top) LS. It’s really a pain with brass screws. If I could get steel I could use a magnetic screw drive to install the screws.
Jim, Fastenall doesn’t sell these small screws and the other link I get an error when I click on fasteners.
Sandhill, where did you get the SS screws?

How about 1/2” screws the should hold well? I forgot you have to have an account with Lewis and company(wholesale)

Thanks, Ben. I’ll give them a call. I’ll also check out WE. Haven’t been there since they closed the Gibson store.

OK, since I got a local on this thread I’m going to change the subject. Do you know of anyone in town that mills lumber? I have some 4×4 broad leaf maple I need to flatten. It’s 12 to 14 ” wide and I only have a 6” jointer. I need to flatten at least one face and one edge.

Thanks, John. I was hoping to get phillips head screws but it I have to use slotted then so be it.

D_Allen beat me to it. McMcaster has them for about 4.35 for a pack of 100. Shipping will end up being around another 4 dollars.

Here’s the link for McMasters Carr.
If these guys don’t have it, you probably didn’t need it.

-- Michael :-{| Diapers and politicians both need to be changed often; and for the same reason.

Just remember that true stainless isn’t magnetic and won’t work with your magnetic screw driver any better then the brass.

McFeeley’s has a good assortment in both plain and plated steel, but they start at #4.

I just bought them from McMaster-Carr. Really wanted the phillips head but you get what you can.
