Help with wires clipping and screws backing out

you can also just trap the leads under the screw top itself, instead of tryign to trap them in the post holes.

Rounding the Bottom of a Machine Screw will definitely help to hold a Small diameter wire in a Post Hole. But it can be a PITA sometimes to do without Hosing up the Threads on the Screw.

Whenever you work on the End of a Thread, here is a Little Trick.

Put a Nut or enough Nuts on the Screw Thread to cover the Section of the Thread you Don't want Damaged. Then File Away. Or Chuck the Head of the Machine Screw in a Drill and "Mini Lathe" the end.

Then when your done, removing the Nuts will "Chase" the Thread. And Most Times knock off any burrs left from Filing/Sanding.

Working down on the M2 or M2.5 Level is a Drag. And I would Always Buying Something before Filling or Sanding. But if a Person has to, the Nut over the Thread Trick comes in Very Handy.

yes this works excellent when sanding screws i do it all the time when i have to cut a bolt on the fly it could also help if you have a tap/die set (not absolutley required but..) you could thread your own holes and run the screw in and out of a threaded hole before putting it into your favorite atty and jacking up the threads

Yeah... The Nut tech also works Great when you have to Cut a piece of All-Thread in half also.
