On the other hand, if you don't need the
cheese or button heads,
McMaster has T15 6-32x1/4" pan head screws for 6.22 per 100,
which doesn't seem like a terrible price to me. Aside from some
visual finish, what's the advantage of a button/cheese head?
If you're working on a piece of older Compaq gear, the cheese head is part of the
slide-in mounting system for the disk drives. That is, the cheese head forms the
protrusion that slides in the groove of a plastic guide.
