Good morning:
The Head of hex screws to hold zir puck get worn out because of abrasive zirconium dust when turning, where can I get them reasonably to change regularly? Thanks

Ohhhh @JMN where are you? There were some posts about this somewhere in the forum.

For me, and I'm getting to that point, I'll check with Ace Hardware. I think it was also discussed in that thread that the star shaped hex drivers work more efficiently and easier than the allen wrench type that wear out quicker.

Didn't see that thread, so can't remember anything enough to search other than vhf+screws which was not helpful.

But I'm with you, take a screw and driver to the hardware store and buy a few. Save the shipping and markup. Well, some of the markup.

No problem in not finding it, it was kinda buried in a thread. I believe it's a metric thread with the Mini. So bringing it along to the hardware store is a good idea

Someone posted McMaster-Carr for the Select screws and driver. The mini screws are slightly different but they have them too. I have found the screws from McMaster for the select and mini to be a bit more durable and don't wear out as quick. If you're out there, whoever originally posted to get them here Thank you!

I just get mine from Jensen. I think I pay around 23 bucks for a new touch plate and all the misc screws n stuff.

we buy them in bulk from the local hardware store. You can find them online and have them shipped if you don't have somewhere close. Lowe's and HD usually don't have anything below M4, but you might get lucky. Below are the specs we purchase.
