Basics
- A Device for Thermal Insertion of Metal Components into Thermoplastic Components
- Allows things like Threaded Inserts to be inserted into Thermoplastics
- More accurate, and efficient, than doing so by hand
- Can probably also be adapted to Thermal Stapling ( Hot Stapling seems to be a more common term?), Heat Staking etc
- Uses a similar mechanism as the Drill Press for the motion, but uses a Soldering Iron like device for heating the custom toolhead (perhaps a screwdriver?)
- May also have use for precisely cutting thick synthetic rope (devices like this are in some marine supply stores etc, but are often out of reach, this with a blade toolhead, and a rope holding+tensioning jig...)
