If you need to screw a bolt into a wooden or plastic blank, then another bolt of the same diameter will help you with this, from which you can make a simple and convenient device for threading. To make such a homemade product can be literally within one hour.
The main stages of work
We take a bolt of the desired diameter, then use a grinder to cut off the cap and make two shallow longitudinal cuts 1/3 of the length of the bolt on both sides of the stud (approximately 1-2 mm deep). Next, the end of the stud (where the cuts are made) must be slightly rounded.
We insert the other end of the stud into the chuck of a screwdriver or an electric power drill and the home-made tool is ready for use. Working with him is very simple. First, we drill a hole of the desired diameter in a wooden or plastic blank, then we cut the thread with a hairpin.
Thus, for each bolt of a certain diameter, you can make a homemade tap. And for the manufacture of this device will require a minimum of time and materials - only a bolt of suitable diameter and a grinder. Fast, practical and convenient.
To summarize
Using this tool, you can improve the quality of bolt fasteners. For a detailed process of making a homemade tap for quick threading in wood and plastic, see the video on our website.
