Used by aspiring pattern makers found at local foundries, tradesmen use these transfer screws to transfer threaded hole locations to mount new parts that are going on various mold plates. Saves drilling unnecessary holes. The durable and resilient strength allows you to make countless marks in plastic, hardened aluminum, cast iron, ductile iron, tool steel, and B2 tooling steel. Since these are case hardened, you get a long lasting, durable product that delivers precision every time.

In the aviation industry, both Nielsen and Bradley-style transfer screws serve their purpose-and they do it well. Aircraft repair facilities and experimental builders get great use from these products to mark and drill the skin of aircraft and joining parts.
