Looking for Set Screws & Jam Nuts

The little one can probably be had from places like McMaster-Carr www.mcmaster.com providing a cup point works. The big one still has a valid AC number and dealers witih AC parts have them, something like $31 each last I checked by part number. And that dealer at Marshaltown actually had one in stock.

Richard Aiken prolly has all kinds of em.

$31 dollars, holly setscrew batman, I'm glad I have a usable lathe out in the shed. I could turn that taper in a couple minutes.

My post back in August said:
I saw a few of those at Marshalltown at the Mid-Iowa Antique Power Association Show. Most had hex heads, looked like about 11/16", maybe 5/8" with thin but large lock nuts. A couple had screwdriver slots, as if they were conventional set screws used as replacements. I didn't get to see the taper.

I visited the Central Iowa Farm Store at Marshalltown after lunch and asked about those set screws. They have ONE in stock part number 207872 for $39.48. I should have asked, "Is that for a box of ten or 25?" I wished I had a dial caliper with me to measure that sample.

To which Ray posted:

$10.00 each. 785-353-2392

So if they can be had for that price I can't buy one for measuring the taper and go turn them in my little lathe.

Try Sandy Lake Iplement.  I bought the set screw in your photo from them last spring.
