“Blunting” screw threads?
Posted: Mon Jul 16, 2018 6:26 pm
I have a Steelworxx device that secures with a threaded bolt through the PA, and it’s not working great for me. The screw portion of the bolt has rather sharp threads, which irritate my tissue going in and out. On the one hand, that sounds like a design issue. On the other hand, maybe I can do something about it.
So to the people amongst us who understand metalwork - looking at you, @Tom Allen - I have two questions.

- Can I just take some sandpaper to the threads, and still have the screw work?
- What other options can you think of design-wise rather than a standard thread, that wouldn’t irritate or “catch” tissue? What’s Dietmar not thinking of?
