Adjustment Screw
Adjustment screws are screws used to make settings on machine tools, clamping devices or fixtures.
Relation to thread work:
- Used to precisely align tools or workpieces.
- Also relevant in assembly tools or with thread inserts where parts need to be fixed or adjusted.
Practical example:
In a fixture, adjustment screws are used to set the angle or distance so that the tap is positioned exactly perpendicular to the surface.
