Project Ideas
Business
Pre-Tapped Prototyping Plates
Produce and sell aluminum or G10 plates tapped 10-24 in a grid (e.g., 1-inch spacing) with a starter hardware kit. Market to makers, robotics teams, and electronics labs for fixture building and iterative prototyping. Sell via Etsy and local maker spaces; offer custom sizes and spacings.
On-Site Drill-and-Tap Service
Offer mobile installation and repair for 10-24 hardware: drill and tap clean holes in aluminum storefronts, displays, and metal furniture for standoffs, signage, and brackets. The matched #25 bit and accurate tap reduce rework when working on ladders or delicate finishes.
Flat-Pack Shelving Kits
Design minimalist wall shelves or small side tables where the metal or hardwood components are pre-drilled and tapped 10-24, allowing customers to assemble with visible machine screws—no nuts needed. Ship flat to reduce costs; upsell color-matched hardware and expansion kits.
Hands-On Tapping Workshops
Run a 2–3 hour class teaching safe drilling and tapping using this combo set. Each attendee makes a take-home project (maker plate, wall panel, or small clamp set). Monetize through class fees and optional tool-and-hardware bundles.
Custom Jigs and Fixtures
Provide small-batch fixture plates and clamps tapped 10-24 for light assembly lines, repair shops, and QC benches. Offer quick-turn custom drilling patterns, labeling, and hardware kits so clients can standardize workholding without investing in T-slot systems.
Creative
Reconfigurable Maker Plate
Drill a 1-inch grid of #25 holes in a 1/4-inch aluminum plate and tap them 10-24 to create a reusable workholding board. Use 10-24 screws, spacers, and printed brackets to clamp small parts for soldering, gluing, and light machining. The matched #25 bit prevents walking, and the rolled-thread tap yields clean, accurate threads for repeatable setups.
Modular Wall Storage Panel
Make a sleek storage panel from hardwood or aluminum with a pattern of 10-24 tapped holes. Design screw-in hooks, shelves, and tool pegs that fasten directly with 10-24 hardware. Rearrange accessories anytime without visible nuts on the front for a clean, custom look.
Custom Drawer Pulls and Knobs
Turn wood or cast resin knobs and tap a 10-24 blind hole to mount them with machine screws from the back of the drawer face. Mix materials (brass, walnut, acrylic) and offer matching accent screws. The clean threads help each knob seat flush and stay tight.
Adjustable Desk Light/Art Arm
Build an articulating arm from tapped acrylic or aluminum links joined with 10-24 cap screws and nylon washers. The screws act as pivots for adjustable lighting or kinetic art. The no-skate drill tip makes accurate hole starts at link ends for neat alignment.
Helping-Hands Soldering Base
Create a compact steel or aluminum base with multiple 10-24 tapped holes to position alligator-clip arms, magnifiers, and PCB supports. Move the accessories around the base as needed and lock them down with 10-24 thumb screws.
