Looking for a fastener - 1/2-13 x 1/2" cap screw center drilled/tap like "vent" screw
Do these exist commercially? It's basically to use as a locking mechanism to set tension on a simple assembly with a wave spring. Obviously they are straightforward to make, I'm just curious if they are already offered somewhere. I checked McMaster and vented screws are available, but the sizes stop at 1/4". I can make them if need be, but was just curious if someone already make something like that. I drilled and tapped one yesterday on the lathe and it works for what I need. I'm able to set the tension of the 1/2-13 and then just reach down the center and use a 1/8 allen to bottom out a 1/4-20 to bind up the threads. Looking at just using loctite as well.
