M1 machine screws - Where to buy?

Other Hardware Motors, Mechanics, Power and CNC

Hi,
I have purchased this motor and now looking for M1 screws to fix in to the project box.

I have looked around on Amazon but they only come as part of assorted screws, not sold saperately.
I will end up with a lot of unwanted screws if I bought that :smiley:

Any idea where I can buy these type of micro screws without spending a fortune to attach a motor?

Secondly, if I cant find these screws, what are some cool ways to attach a motor to the box? I need to keep this motor attached in the center of the project box vertically.

Something like this:

4032×3024 4 MB

The motor is vertically attached under the top face plate. In this prototype, I have glued it.

There are some options on ebay and Aliexpress, but the shipping time is 30 to 60 days.
I am looking for something that can ship faster within USA.

Have you searched the larger electronics retailers in the USA ?

I dont use them myself as I often tear down salvaged equipment and generally find the screws I need from those sources.

There are also often sources on Amazon but I only use them when I really need to as they are often much more expensive.

Also they often dont ship to Canada ( wth ?)

I've seen M1 on eBay occasionally, but most suppliers don't go below M1.6.

This place is a few towns away, and they actually make the screws & stuff there.

Smallest metric size I can find is 1.6mm.

Perhaps contact them and ask for advice on who might offer smaller.

Specs on #1 threads

But may work out to ~1.8mm

Looks like #0 is smallest, ~1.5mm

Any chance you can get a tap an enlarge the holes a little?

Would these work?

More here, less expensive

Wow - these guys go down to M0.6! Don't drop one!

Thanks everyone for the links.
Seems like metricscrews might have what i need.

Alternatively, I am also considering this enclosure from robotzone:
