6-48 Thumb screws

Is here such a thing? Trying to cobble together a project that is bugging me. Can drill and tap to next larger size if needed. But would really like to keep it unmodified.

You can make lots of things from those black allen-head screws Ace hardware sells (the ones with the chunky cylindrical tops). There is plenty of meat to grind, file, shape, and solder to. I made a tang sight shaft with threaded aperture using one.

How long?

This type lighting fixture uses them.
