Aluminum Screws
I need help finding some screws for 3/4" aluminum square tubing. I'm making 1/8" thick brackets and the 3/4" square tubing is 3/16" thick.
What are my options? Nut and bolt will be pretty hard to manage due to how I am going to be using a Miter joint to put the frame together... I think...
I would love to weld it together but I don't have the tools or the money to buy a welder and grinder.
Ideas?
Thanks in advance.

i'd say just get some 6-32 screws and a 6-32 tap. they should be plenty big enough to hold together a computer case frame. and they are available at your local lowes or home depot. anything smaller will have to be special ordered from the internet.

Re: Aluminum Screws
yeah, those should work great for you. they would eliminate the need to get a tap. you'd still have to drill a pilot hole for them though.
