Hi all, I have started to attempt to repair things as a hobby and strip some screws from time to time. Unfortunately one screw has stripped completely on a pair of beats I was working on I tried the rubber band and glue method to no avail. I am awaiting a delivery of an engraver as I read on here some people have had success with these. Does anyone have any experience with using an engraver to fix a stripped screw how did it go? Any videos to share of one being used? Thanks
Never heard of using a Hand Engraver to take a screw out. I often use a left hand drill or a screw extractor like these Precision Screw Extractor Set to remove smaller screws used in computers. I also find using a soldering iron to heat the screw up can also help to soften thread lock. The last option is cutting the screw giving it a slot using a Dremel tool and a thin cutting wheel. Is that what you mean by an engraver?
