Chicago Screw post size

Recommended Posts

My question is what size chicago screw post size should I use on 9-10 oz leather for attaching belt buckles. So basically 2 pieces of 9-10oz together, I was thinking 1/4" post but want to be sure. Thanks and God Bless.

1/4" should work fine.

I have been using M5 x 5mm and 1/8 inch Chicago Screws on skived down 14 ounce at the belt buckle.

What happens when the Chicago Screw is too long for the intended purpose and moves around in the leather? Any observations anyone?

I use a file or mini-grinder in a motor-tool to reduce the lengths
