Kind of screws for skates
I was wondering, what kind of screws would one purchase for mounting ice skate blades into a leather sole? Are they wood screws? Is there a measurement for the head size so the recess fits properly?

They're stainless steel wood screws.
You'd need flat-headed screws for the slotted holes, and counter-sunk heads for the round holes. It's a standard diameter, but I don't know what size. You can ask at a pro shop if you can buy extra screws. Most of the ones around here mount the blades with 2-4 screws/boot and keep the extras that come with the blades for their own use in the future. I always ask for the extras and keep them in my skate bag.

Yeah, I could get more from the fitter no problem, but I'm a nut about technical details like that. I like knowing as much about the skates as I can...
Thanks!

Minor correction

So the round countersunk holes take flat head screws. The slotted holes take round or pan head screws. It's a minor technicality to you and I knew what you meant. I work in an engineering department and I would be admonished if I referred to them any other way. As far as extras are concerned, my fitter has them laying all about and surely would hand a few over to me if I asked. He just picked them off his bench at the last mounting and handed back my old blades along with the new screws still in the poly bag. |
