I hope you are not using hardware store screws in your homebuilt for any
important functions. You are gambling your life. You could be a _big_

No, no, no, no

We do not use hardware from Home Depot Aerospace for anything except
non-structural things like holding the floorboards in place.

I mentioned HD and the cml screw because I thought the cml screw would
have the same profile as the MS screw and I could use it as a model of
what to purchase. What I didn't realize is that the underside angle of
the head (countersink) for the MS screw was different from the cml
screw, so that was a good idea gone bad.

Still don't know if a #6 MS24694 is going to give me a 3/8" dia head.
