Application and fields of use of conical plates

Area of application:

Conical plates can be drilled in very precisely on

a drilling rig with a Forstner bit matching the dia-

meter of the plate. The drilling rig not only provi-

des an absolutely vertical drill hole, it also allows

the depth of the drill hole to be precisely regula-

ted. If the workpiece is too large for the drilling rig,

the “tec-mobil” from wolfcraft

, as a mobile drilling

rig, offers the same advantages as a stationary

drilling rig.

Filling in knotholes

Particularly in pine and spruce wood, depending

on the quality, there may be many small knot-

holes in the wood. Knotholes which have bec -

ome loose and no longer sit firmly in the wood

should be drilled out and replaced with a conical

plate which is slightly larger than the knothole.

Put a little wood glue into the drill hole and then

knock the conical plate in with a hammer. After

the glue has dried, grind the plate flush.

Cover screw heads

If you want to cover screw heads with conical

plates, you first need to drill a blind hole of the

same diameter as the platelet before you tighten

the screw. After the screw has been tightened,

you can then knock in the conical plate with a

little glue, and after it has dried, grind it flush

with the surface of the wood with an orbit san der

or a half-sheet finish sander.

Behind the product name “conical plate” hides a small and unassuming

helper that has a big effect. When you want to fill up knotholes or cover

up unsightly screw holes, these thin circular plates of pinewood pro-

vide a rapid, uncomplicated solution. In addition to this, the coni-

cal plates, which can be obtained in the diameters 15, 20, 25, 30,

35 and 40 mm are also very good for numerous other applica-

tions. For example, they can provide excellent service as wheels

when constructing children‘s toys.
