Project Description

These custom modified grade 8 machine screws were made using 5/16-18 X 1-1/4 Grade 8 hex head cap screws in grade 8 steel material with zinc/clear finish. The head of each COTS part was machined to the shape seen here, with the head height at .190″ +/-.005″ and head diameter at .485″ +/-.005″. Single flat .42″ section was incorporated at one section per our customer’s provided sample piece. Total of 300 pieces were modified on this specific production run and the lead time was approximately 2 weeks from the order receipt.

Large quantities of these custom made parts would be best supplied on a 12 month blanket purchase order basis. The Blanket Order concept allows the customer to access the large quantity cost savings without paying upfront for the entire large quantity order. Instead we take on the burden of carrying the bulk inventory and only release the parts as needed, or often on a pre-scheduled basis provided by the customer.
