Sounds like you and I ordered from the same supplier at the same time!  I've 
used them in the past and I've been pleased with their service.

I believe their 82-degree 4-40 SS black-oxide screws only go down to 1/4". 
I suspect that will still be fine but I'll be checking for any resistance 
while inserting the screws.  I also ordered these in a hex socket head and 
will choose one or the other after I try both.  I noticed some suppliers 
even have them in a Torx style.
