Needing someone who can make threaded screws for old wooden clamps.

What size and how many? Nuts too?

Pete it is a cousin in Illinois who has this information, and will get it to me today maybe. He asked if I could do this? No way. I thought I would ask here, and maybe find someone.

I will provide Dimensions as soon as he gets them to me. He didn't mention nuts. These screws are for wooden hand clamps. Thanks

Just curious- aren't they Acme threads?

If you're talking about clamps like this he needs to be able to tap the holes too. The threads for the clamps are 1 1/8" to match a metal cutting tap we had. The bigger one is from a wood tap of 1 1/2". The threads were cut on a table saw with a special blade we had made. For grins my dad made a 4" diameter thread with it. I can make the threads for you but can't guarantee the fit as his tap could be different and if I have to make the threads in the jaws too I might as well do the whole thing. Not keen on going into the clamp making business. He would be better off biting the bullet and get a Beall router jig for threads. Threadboxes can be difficult to tune and get right. That's why we went to using the table saw.

Woodchipper they are usually a 60 degree but can be 55 degrees or even to 90 degree V threads. Acme are rare and not in smaller sizes. Big press type things.

Pete, thanks for the insight on making these things. I assume your photo is what he has. I will pass this on to him.

Curly, thanks. Wile E. Coyote gets all his stuff from Acme. Still hasn't caught the roadrunner!
