    Default Someone please refresh my memory about microfasteners

    I can't really understand the microfasteners website, or rather the US system for specifying sizes.
    Micro Fasteners :: Machine Screws :: Hex Head :: Brass

    what does 00-80 and 00-90 mean? or 1-72?
    And how do I know what size washers go with them? what is the difference between fbw0-0 and fbw00-00?

    I would just direct you to this previous thread

    http://straightrazorpalace.com/works...fasteners.html

    - lots of helpful info here, including a cheat sheet from gssixgun.

    Thanks. I thought the imperial system was already archaic but this just takes the cake. They might as well just name them after days of the week or colors...

    Bruno,

    I ordered from Microfasteners recently, and here is some info that might help:

    1. The Screws are HEX HEAD MACHINE SCREW 0-80 X 3/4 (HBB0012)
    2. The Hex nuts to those screws are HEX NUT SMALL PATTN 0-80 (HNBS0080)

    This screw is roughly equivalent in size to a standard brass or copper rod that you might use.
