Screw Cutting Guide for DeSteiner Model 1887

thingiverse

For those in the US, the equivalent screws are: `#8 x 1/2"` - Qty:16 These are going to be the main screws for the entire body. `#8 x 7/8"` - Qty:3 These are for attaching the handle to the body. Luckily, at my local Lowes, the #8x1/2" screws were sold in an exact pack of 16. However, the #8x7/8" screws were sold in a pack of 8, so you'll have some extra. (see picture) But wait! You also need two sets of screws cut to a length of 5mm for the lifter. That's where this comes in. Print two of these along with whatever part you need. Screw them onto two of the extra #8x7/8" screws, hold them in place using vice grips, and use a Dremel to cut them to the desired 5mm. If you want, also use the Dremel to clean up some rough thread edges from the cut. It'll make assembly easier later. Keep in mind that the screw will get very hot during cutting, so be careful! Enjoy and thanks to DeSteiner for the awesome build!
