Soft Brass: Mounting Screws

I needed to replace a screw in the base of my router. I ordered them and they work perfectly the first time. However, brass is very soft and the threads are easily damaged, so it cannot be used a second time. I hand tightened it and didn't force it, so it's definitely the softness of the brass. 2 of the 4 screws had thread damage, one of the others broke off and had to be unscrewed with a screwdriver. I would recommend them for one time use only.

Pros
  • Brass provides corrosion resistance and thermal and electrical conductivity
Cons
  • Large and Bulky
