Below are the necessary steps for the installation of a Helicoil insert. Step 1: Take Care of the Old Hole So, here we’ve rounded up methods of removing a stripped screw under two categories: The easy methods and the slightly complicated methods. You can choose THE one method that’ll meet your needs. Without further ado, let’s dive in. The Easy Methods: Method #1) Grab the Drill and Pull

Finally, in case your screw got damaged when working with a piece of plastic, avoid using wood as well. Alongside the hole diameter, you’ll need the thread count. For this, measure the thread count of a screw that reaches the bottom of the hole. Count the number of threads for every inch length of that screw. Hence, you got all the necessary measurements. Step 2: Drill A Blind Hole Many of the methods I talked about above can be used regardless of the material that you are screwing into. However, some methods are better for certain applications than others. Coat a rawl plug with wood glue and tap it into the screw hole. Once the glue has dried, drill a small pilot hole into the rawl plug before re-screwing into the wedge. Chances are also – in terms of longevity – that the filling will disintegrate sooner than your workpiece.

Use a drill to make a clean and smooth hole that is smaller than the tap head. The blind hole provides an even surface to the tap so that it can add threads effectively. Step 3: Start Tapping the Blind HoleUsing a small piece of pine and a sharp knife you can create a pointed shim to fill the oversized screw hole. Sharpen the pine wood into a pointed splint and tap into the hole. For a stronger hold coat the pine splint with wood glue before tapping into the hole. Once the glue has dried, use a chisel or sharp knife to cut off any overhanging pine flush with the edge of the wood before drilling a small pilot hole ready to screw into.

Encountering a stripped screw hole is pretty normal for all of us. From sheet metals to wooden doors, these holes can appear anytime anywhere. And when they appear, they surely bring a lot of difficulties with them.Unlike the previous methods, this method involves drilling a hole into your workpiece that is larger than the diameter of your screw. More specifically, it requires drilling a hole that’s roughly the same diameter as the dowel you plan to use. You can also use wood dowels – like those that you would find in a set of Ikea furniture – to fix damaged screw holes.
