Welcome back to Albany County Fasteners - Fasteners 101
I'm Bob and today we're going to cut threaded rod and chamfer the edges. So let's get started.
I have here my 3/8"-16 x 6 foot long threaded rod. I'm going to mark out my 3-foot length
So I'm basically slicing these in half for a customer that has requested
us to cut his rod (and) chamfer the edges and that's what we'll do next after we cut
the threaded rod. I have here a chop saw with a stainless steel abrasive made for
cutting stainless steel. I'm going to line up my marks with the blade.
You should have safety glasses on so you don't get any debris in your eyes or
spark and I'm going to start now.
Ok, so I have my stainless steel cut rod here. As you can see the edge needs to be chamfered.
I put a rag between the threaded rod and the vise so this way we
don't do any damage to the threads. So I have my Uniburr here which
will chamfer the edge and the key to the Uniburr is to crawl and go slow.
Not fast. Just crawl slowly, you see the chips falling off there we're just going
to chamfer that edge so we can get a nut on here. There you go perfect.
So I have ten pieces to do like this. I'll do another one. That's one for the
customer, completed. You can see the edge there I'm going to bring it in a little
closer for you. See that, look how nice that is. This is an awesome tool. A $65.00 tool and you get an amazing result.
The slower I go, the better the result. If you're going to go fast, it's not going
to work very well for you. You're just going to burn out the bit. There we go, perfect.
See there? Beautiful, nice job. The customer will be happy with that.
That's basically how you cut threaded rod and chamfer the edges so you can get a nut on.
Thanks for watching.
