[simpits-tech] Microstop....

> I have four Microstops, each is setup with a piloted different cutter:

> 2-56 100 degree Flathead screws

Are the 8-24 or 6-24 cutters different?  Is 100 degrees the "common" angle
for what you'd typically buy from a bulk supplier like Lowe's?

Is this the measurement you're referring to?
