Starting point to find hareware
I have checked Home Depot, Lowe's, and the a local hardware store (Ace True Value). Unfortunately, the smallest machine screws they offered was a #8. Looking online, I was unable to determine if these stores offer smaller machine screws. I'm planning to give Fastenal a call to see if they offer those small machine screws and can go buy to try them.
I ordered some 2-56 screws online, but they are too small. It's been a challenge of determining the hole size and thread with machinist scale.
Any recommendation of hardware store that may carry machine screws in these small diameters in both standard and metric threads?
Having to order the minimum number of screws of different sizes will not be cost effective.
