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.
