In this video I show a method for shortening screws. I had 50 5BA screws to shorten so some form of lathe set up was required that would allow this to be done efficiently.

Nice job Crispin. The chamfer ground into the tool was a nice touch. Thanks for the mention.

I have found over the years that these model railways engineers are both excellent precision machinists and very inventive when solving technical issues. Once met a guy with only one arm building a very high precision research grade telescope on a big steel mounting, using lathe and milling machine, as well as a large steam loco. I take my hat off to these guys.

I have been using electrical crimping pliers to shorten screws. They have a series of threaded holes on one side and a cutter on the other. Your tool appears like it will leave a better thread on the shortened end.

Very smart solution! Was just wondering if this makeshift collet will work with a 'range' of screw sizes, in similar vein to gear tooth cutter sets, or one would have to machine a whole bunch of them, one for every single screw and nut size out there? Also, is the ID threaded or just smoothbore?

Your method is better than his. His will cause variations in length simply due to any variation in diameter of the screw causes the collet to pull in a different distance and screws will vary. Not to mention your built in chamfering cut. Looks like he should be getting tips from you not you from him.
