Default Screw Making: Making a rounded edge on the screw tip

What kind of tools do you have available?

A lathe with a form tool if you have to make lots, a file if you only need
one or two.

You can use a bench grinder or belt/disk sander if a chamfer will do... You
can create a chamfer with just a file as well.

Which round edge are you trying to make? I'm assuming the threaded part, as
opposed to the head. If so, I don't really see why you'd need a round as
opposed to a chamfer...?

HTH.

Regards,

Robin

Hi,
Anybody have any ideas on how to make a "rounded" edge on a 1/4 inch rod?
I am making some screws, and need to have the end rounded.

Thanks

George
