Large Wooden Nuts and Bolts 

Thanks. I guess there are a lot of traditional woodworkers who have not been exposed to 3d printing technology. Also, the required CAD skills do have a learning curve. I have made all kinds of jigs/parts with my 3d printer. Just recently bought a Bosch orbital sander which needed an adaptor to connect to my vacuum system. Here are a few of my 3d-printed parts that may be of interest: www.instructables.com/3D-Printed-Gadgets-for-Woodworking/ www.instructables.com/More-3D-Printed-Gadgets-for-Woodworking/

@@macplethora Same for me, I have a Bosch GEX 125 and also had to figure out a way to connect it to my shop vac, as the original dust collector clogs up rather quickly and is a pain to open for cleaning. 3D printing an adapter was a quick and easy solution to my issue. Little did I know that a 3D printer can do so much more than just dust ports!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

I agree! Thanks for pointing that out!

Thank you very much!

Thanks!

Thanks! In case you haven't seen it, the details are here: www.instructables.com/Large-Wooden-Nuts-and-Bolts/ and here: www.instructables.com/Wooden-Threads-With-Your-Router-Table/ Greeting from New Mexico

Thanks!

Thanks from New Mexico! Gracias!

Thanks! I like to build various jigs for my wood working shop! My 3d-printer has been very useful for that.

Thanks. Let us know how it turns out!

Thanks! You should be able to make a 3 inch diameter bolt easily. Making a 3 inch nut (i.e. cutting an inside thread) might be more challenging. Let me know if you accomplish that.

Thanks. You can always try an online 3d printing service like : xometry.com or shapeways.com

Thanks, let me know when you get it done, and share it on Instructables.

Thank you! Gracias!

Thanks! The bits are called: Double-angle cutter bit (60 degrees) for the interior threads, and V-groove bit (60 degrees) for the exterior threads: www.amazon.com/dp/B0067BVMVC www.amazon.com/dp/B00004T7E8 More detail in my Instructable: www.instructables.com/Large-Wooden-Nuts-and-Bolts/

Gracias por tu comentario! Me alegra que te haya gustado! Saludos

Thanks!

Thanks. I 3d printed the the parts myself. The files are available here: www.instructables.com/Large-Wooden-Nuts-and-Bolts/

Thanks!

Thanks. The files worked for my 3d printer. You may have to tweak the dimensions (or scale one of the parts) to make the pieces fit. Also, a little sanding and clean-up of the parts to remove any roughness will help with the fit. Hope it works out for you.

@@macplethora Thanks for reply. I will try.😉

Thanks!

Thanks for your interest. I would make longer threaded rods like this: First, cut a 1 to 2 inch length of thread on the front of your long dowel. Then 3d print a dowel guide that has the same (interior) thread on the left side - past the v-groove bit. Mount this dowel guide and thread in the tip of your long dowel. Finally, use the new dowel guide to pull/turn your long dowel across the v-groove bit. You will have to cut the total depth of the thread in one pass for this to work. Good luck, let us know if you do this.

Thanks! The bit is called: "Double-angle cutter bit (60 degrees)". Check out my Instructable: www.instructables.com/Large-Wooden-Nuts-and-Bolts/ Here is one source for the bit: www.mscdirect.com/product/details/03196052

Thanks!

Thanks. I 3d printed all the plastic parts used in this project. The files are available at www.instructables.com/Large-Wooden-Nuts-and-Bolts/ if you want to print them yourself. If you don't have a 3d printer you can send the files to an online 3d printing service like : xometry.com or shapeways.com

Thanks. Rather than narrating a long RU-vid video I published all the details at: www.instructables.com/Large-Wooden-Nuts-and-Bolts/

Thanks!

Dankeschön! 3/4″ Cut Diameter, 3/16″ Cut Width, 3/8″ Shank, High Speed Steel Double-Angle Cutter. More info here: www.instructables.com/Large-Wooden-Nuts-and-Bolts/

@@macplethora Thank you! Can you send me a link, where I can buy it?

Sorry for the late reply. To get the 3d printed parts you can always try an online 3d printing service like : xometry.com or shapeways.com
