    Default Where to get quality wood screws in Melb?

    Can someone tell me where I can get a range of QUALITY wood screws in various sizes (mainly 8g & 10g between 20mm and 75mm) in Melbourne. I prefer to use Ramset fasteners as they are the best I have found but can no longer get them at any of the local hardware places. I know I can order from Sachys-Robertson but I want to be able to get them at short notice and I wish to use the philips head countersunk type. I am sick of the rubbish that I buy from Bunnings, Mitre 10 etc. I have been told recently there is a ramset store in Richmond. Does anyone know of their stock and if they sell to the public.

    Have a look in the white pages for Coventry fasteners, they have a few stores around the burbs. Also try looking up Industrial Supplies in the yellow pages, there are a fair few of them that have a fairly good range of fasteners. Another possibility is places like Cost Less Bolts, again I think there are a few branches arround. Or try some of the specialist woodworking suppliers on the forum.

    Bill Norquay, owner of Sachys Industries, was a guest
    speaker at our Northern Woodturners Club on Saturday
    and was most informative.

    He explained the many types of screws, platings,
    suitability for indoor/outdoor use and demonstrated
    the various square drives etc. Worth listening to.

    I now only use Sachy-Robertson on my projects.
    I'm just out of Sydney and, if I order on Tuesday, I have them for the weekend. That'll do me.....
