| Carriage bolt
|
|
Bolt with a squarish section under a rounded head without a slot; underneath the head is a square shoulder. It bears a resemblance to a wood screw and is good for wood to wood connections. Carriage bolts have either cut or rolled threads. Cut thread bolts have threads cut into the bolt; the rolled thread bolts have the threads pressed into the bolt shaft making the threaded section a little thicker than the bar shank. Cut thread bolts are the preferred type because they are more uniform. Rolled thread bolts work well in smaller sizes but, in larger sizes, the shank may be loose enough in a large hole to pass the threaded end. To use: carriage bolts are pushed into a hole the same size as the shank and then hammered in the rest of the way; the squarish part locks it firmly in place. |
