Al or Bruce -- do button head socket cap screw perform similarly to binding head screws? I agree with Bruce that it is easier to control the screw torque using a Torx head driver. The CAD view available on McMaster appear to show similar holding surfaces (under the head) for both types.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
