Anyone know where to get Colored Thumbscrews?
like a Red Anodized Aluminum Thumbscrew or Blue. ive been doing alot of serching on the internet and came up empty. i thought i saw someone who sells sabers or saberparts selling them on their website but i cant remember the site.

A sweet source of anodized thumbscrews is the custom PC case market. Do some digging around there and see what you can turn up. At one time, you used to be able to get case screws in every color of the rainbow. Don't ask me what thread pattern they have...I dunno.

[Braxus]

yea, i did a search a search for those and BOOM!! there poped up a ton of sites that have em. but like you said, no idea what thread pattern :(

[Jonitus]

If memory serves correctly (which is asking a lot these days), the majority of threaded holes on a PC case are threaded M3 (metric). I know you can get a drill and tap set for M3 at the hardware store.

6-32 thumb screws but they come in packs of 10. Hummm maybe these could be offered here a TCSS?? I just wonder if 6-32 is the standard size for Case thumbscrews.

[Jonitus]

Those look nice. The length of the threaded portion might not be long enough for blade retention on some blade holders, but maybe thats where a person could have a section machined down to allow these to work?

Good find.

I don't know if it's possible or not, but e-mail Tim and ask if he can powder coat the thumb screws he sells in the store.

I think he is looking into that. There was talk about that on the "Wishing" thred.

What you using them for Barmic?

[Barmic Rin]

Decoration mainly. May see about blade screws dependant on how the style of these sabers turns out.
