Low angle adapter screws (Solved: 10-32 UNF)

[Jamey Howard]

Exciting news! I have the 10-32 UNF screws here at my desk and they look much more likely to fit. Will post another update later as I know you’re all on the edges of your seats waiting to find out the answer 😉

I’ll see how the grub screws feel for torque, and whether the smaller hex key seems like it’s going to snap under the strain.

Good news, the 10-32 UNF screws are indeed the correct ones.

Using a 5/16″ length grub screw I was able to get enough torque/clamping force to sharpen my Benchmade Griptilian despite the smaller size hex key that goes inside the grub screws compared to screws with a head on them.

But I bought a selection of headed lengths as well (both countersunk and rounded head)in case I want to try them. I suspect they’ll be handy for ‘taller’ blades like kitcken knives, where there’s more length between the edge and the spine.
