The fine thread actually makes sense. The thread is used to adjust height after all. It isn't used to handle a load. Fine is good. Finer is better.

Fastenal. Just need an account and a business. Doesn't need to be much of a business.
If you can't manage that, and nobody out there can help you, tell me what you want, make me whole, and pay the shopping and I'll get them to you.
There is also a nut and bolt place in Vancouver.
Sounds like it is time to make a rotory broach....
OK, I've thought on this about as much as I am willing. I give up. Call me stupid. What do you mean?
You can make your own hex head screws and standardize.

Yes, this...... One day I will be more comfortable embedding videos on here, but This Old Tony does a pretty good presentation of how one works, and there's several videos of them being made, Hemingway kits makes a popular one.
I have no need for one, but damn, I want one so bad.... Lol

Nope, never once considered you stupid.... Besides, I have been led to believe that you might be bigger than me....
I see. I'll see what I can find. I assume you would be willing to cut some that are too long.They don't have a M10-1.0 that's 45 mm long

This is where I strayed some from what I was trying to duplicate. I used 3/8 24 all thread that I snugged in with double nuts. And the set screws I used were 5/16 18 that I turned the ends down on to allow for some distortion should I need to remove them....They don't have a M10-1.0 that's 45 mm long
Ahhhh, I see. Embarrassed to admit I didn't catch that.
In any event, I'm not making or buying a tool to make my own hex heads. If it bothers me enough, I'll buy a box of screws and throw the originals into a screw box to be used for projects where a common wrench isn't desirable.
The bottom line is that too many of the screws in many of my holders are pretty much junk so replacing them is prolly not a bad idea anyway.

I've got a few extra like I show in the picture I could send you if you can't find an easy source. I don't believe they are "dog point" but they are what I use in my holders and seem to work fine.

That is what mine looked like before I turned the ends down. I pushed one into the back portion of the er40 collet and machined the front one. This way I was using the full length of the collet, which er's need, plus I had a highly inaccurate collet stop.
You will notice that in the pictures I spent most of the day cleaning up , which resulted in a space on my desk big enough to accommodate the subject material....
I'm not doing that. The colour of my work surfaces is downright embarrassing. I'd rather keep hiding the surface with piles of anything I can find to put there....... That's my story and I'm sticking to it.....
Huh? They do?
I did NOT know that! Is that true of all ER collets or just the 40s?
Damn. Just when I think the ER32 is the solution to my collet range problem, somebody throws a live monkey into the pot.....
