Study Notes
Cutting Internal Thread
- Tapping procedure varies for through holes and blind holes, using taper, intermediate, and plug taps as needed.
- For through holes: rotate taper tap clockwise one full turn, then half a turn anticlockwise to clear debris.
- For blind holes: use taper tap first, then intermediate and plug taps, applying cutting compound for better results.
Tap Drill Hole Size
- Metric sizes and imperial sizes have specific tap drill hole size requirements for proper threading.
- Different standards exist for metric (thread pitch) and imperial (threads per inch) systems.
Typical Die Stock
- A die stock enables the adjustment of die size to create either slightly oversized or undersized screw threads through three screws that locate in recesses.
Cutting External Thread
- Hexagon rethreading dies, made from carbon steel, are ideal for maintenance work and can be used in confined spaces with a wrench or socket.
- The cutting process involves applying cutting oil or grease for smoother operation and better thread quality.
Tips for die operation
- Select the correct size die for the rod being threaded; chamfer the rod's edge to facilitate die engagement.
- Maintain straight operation and ensure a forward and backward rotation technique for consistent thread cutting.
Fasteners
- Socket head cap screws (Allen bolts) provide high torque capabilities, suitable for tight spaces where external hex heads cannot fit.
- Eye bolts feature a loop for lifting or suspending loads, with threaded rods on the opposite end, commonly used in assembly tasks.
Types of Screws
- Lag Screw/Bolt: Used for heavy loads in wood; characterized by wood threads instead of machine threads.
- Countersunk-headed screw/bolt: Known as flat-head screws; intended to sit flush with surfaces.
- Self-tapping screws: Create their own thread in the material; often used with sealing washers for waterproofing.
- Self-drilling screws: Combine thread-forming capabilities with a drill point, negating the need for pre-drilling.
Assembly-Disassembly Procedure
- Preparation: Clear workspace and gather tools. Lay protective covering to avoid damage.
- Disassembly: Follow manufacturer's instructions and remove screws/fasteners methodically, one component at a time.
- Organization: Store and label small components during disassembly for easy identification during reassembly.
- Reassembly: Follow disassembly steps in reverse, referring to notes and photographs for proper alignment.
Tips for Efficient Assembly-Disassembly
- Plan ahead, gather all materials and tools, and allocate sufficient time for the task.
- Reference manufacturer instructions when available, as they offer tailored guidelines for successful assembly/disassembly.
