Sounds like you and I ordered from the same supplier at the same time!  I've
used them in the past and I've been pleased with their service.

I believe their 82-degree 4-40 SS black-oxide screws only go down to 1/4".
I suspect that will still be fine but I'll be checking for any resistance
while inserting the screws.  I also ordered these in a hex socket head and
will choose one or the other after I try both.  I noticed some suppliers
even have them in a Torx style.
