05G0801 - Veritas 5" Carver's Screw
Turned from a solid bar of brass, this carver’s screw has a tapered tip with high-profile threads to grip work securely; remounted pieces are held as firmly the third and fourth time as they were the first. The hex portion can be clamped in a vise while you thread on a blank, or turned with a wrench. The molded tightening knob has a low-friction brass insert.
Can be used in work surfaces between 1/2" and 1 3/4" thick and fits into in a dog hole 1/2" in diameter or larger.
