Brass Clamping Screw for Starrett V-Blocks

[PJs]

Personally I like the all brass screws, Classy!

I've used both methods depending on the application. The cap type can be threaded and use loctite, but that would be tough because of the odd thread and shallow inside threading. I have also turned the end of the screw down to form a shank and make my cap to fit slightly under the OD of the thread then used 680 to hold it on...that way it will come out of what it is screwed into. Did that on my drill press quill slot screw to fit the key way better and ride smooth.

The Pin type is easy too and can make a top hat design that is just under the OD of the thread. I made a Delrin one for the tail stock screw on my mini to extend the taper break loose...it was a press fit and stays in fine because I over-sized the pin skosh and press it in...compressing the Delrin.
