#6 1 Inch Machine Screws

I'm having a hell of a time finding these for my SAE prusa. Do they have to be 1 inch exactly or is 3/4 or 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 ok? Home Depot, Lowes Fastenal etc have these sizes but not the elusive 1 inch... II grabbed what I thought were the right ones.. but turns out they aren't machine screws... should took a nylock nut that I have for them with me as the screws I got are for drilling into wood or metal grrr..only $2 so not a big deal.

Hey Rob thanks.. I finally found them at another fastenal near my house... fastenal has a lot of locations.. actually ever since I started my build I've realized how many auto parts shops there are around... They're everywhere. I honestly don't get how they stay in business with so much competition.

So true about cars. I see plenty on my daily hour commute lol... never had to get auto type parts myself so it was just neat to see a whole business/supplier world I didn't really know existed before smiling smiley
