- prashnts 7y agoThanks for the pointer. I was mostly using discard material and accidentally discovered that screws can make threads (yeah, not a machinist) — otherwise I’d planned to use nuts on the other side. I might be able to find a tap at maker space nearby — I didn’t know what a “thread making tool” was called.
