3D model description

This 3D printed screw cutting jig allows you to quickly and easily cut machine screws to length using a standard hacksaw. Screw ends are cut clean and do not need to be chased with a die.

Rather than maintaining an inventory of every screw size in every length, stock a few standard sizes and cut them to length as needed.

Compatible with the following US standard screw sizes: 5/16-18, 1/4-20, 10-24, 10-32, 8-32, 6-32 and 4-40. This tool allows you to accurately measure and cut screws in ⅛” increments from ½” length to 3” length. A reversible guide accommodates all screw head styles, including flathead.

Some additional hardware is required. Here's what you'll need:
- (x2) #8-32 x 2" flathead machine screws
- (x1) #10-24 x 1-1/4" flathead machine screw
- (x1) #6-32 x 1" panhead machine screw
- (x6) #6 x 3/4" flathead metal screws
- (x2) #6-32 x 2" flathead machine screws
- (x6) 5mm shelf pins - https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hillman-8-Pack-Nickel-Plated-Shelf-Pins/999995496
