Make Room for Blind Screws, Gears, and More…
The tip block’s impression is large enough for a 1/4-28 screw. This particular screw type is known as a hex, Allen, or cup screw. As a blind screw, it is particularly useful in remaining flush with your product. Simply attach the tip block to your heated platen and press down to secure screws in place. These screws are often associated with products such as pulleys and gears. Tip blocks can be used for applications ranging from metal work to plastic joining.
