From http://www.kevincaron.com - Artist Kevin Caron shows an easy way to repair damaged threads on a bolt or screw ....
Have you ever found that perfect bolt? It's just what you needed, just the right length, just the right thread, just the right head size, and it'll go right where you need it?
EXCEPT there's a bad spot right there on the threads as if something got dropped on it or something hit it and the threads got screwed up.
Well, there's a tool for that!
Depending upon what you're doing, say your threads are out there in the open, you could use your tap and die set and run a die down through there and clean it right out.
But what if it's in a place you can't get to easily? Like a stud on a motor.
There's another way! Kevin Caron shows two thread files. They're hardened tool steel that have cutting threads cut into them. They're just like a die from a tap and die set, but the threads are on the outside.
First you find the right pitch thread by measuring the files up to the bolt you want to fix. Each thread file has eight different sizes on it, so that makes 16 different options in the set.
Go to where the problems is and begin working the file back and forth.
It'll depend how long it takes based on how much damage there is, and you need to keep checking it as you go. You can see how what Kevin Caron has done has helped open the threads with the few strokes he made thus far.
These files sure are handy to have in your toolbox when you have that perfect bolt but the threads are messed up a little.
There are SAE (American) and metric sets available. They make nice accessories for your SAE and metric tap and die sets.
Where do you find them? Kevin Caron has one set from Matco and another from Snap-On, but you can also probably find them at Grainger, Home Depot and Ace Hardware.
Kevin Caron hopes that show you don't have to throw away that bolt - just fix it!
