Thread Cutting Nut


William Seal
UHO Homework #1


Above is a thread cutting nut. I came across this UHO looking through the “hard-to-find” bin in Lowes Hardware. I asked a gentleman in the store what the purpose of the item was, he explained to me that it is used to cut screw threads into soft metal such as aluminum in order to create custom screws.  It can also be used to clean grunge out of machine screws for smoother threading and a tighter seal.
