A threader pulls threads through small spaces, used for sewing, electrical wires, and pipes. There are different types of threaders for each field, including simple ones for sewing and industrial ones for pipe cutting. Bike shops use a tool to cut and thread bicycle spokes.
A threader is a type of device that helps pull threads in a small space. The act of threading is most often seen when you place a small thread made of some type of fabric into the small circular space on one end of a needle. A threader, however, does not refer only to sewing, as it can be used for threading other types of materials such as electrical wires and pipes. These devices are essential for machinists to cut electrical cables or pipes and are also used for automotive purposes. There are many different types of threaders within each field and they all serve different purposes.
The simplest type of threader is found in sewing kits and sewing machines. Some sewing machines have threaders that help thread the needles by passing your chosen thread through the machine. The device consists of a separate threading hook, a piece that attaches to the thread being passed through the needles, a component that holds the thread in place while the machine is running, and a lever to control parts of the device. With the item attached to a thread, this threading hook reaches for it and grabs your hold, pulling the item and thread through.
Another type of tool is the pipe threader, which is more industrial and durable. This type of threading device is mechanical and electrical, with a motor that does a strong job on the pipes. The device is also lightweight and compact, making it a portable device that can be used for on-site work in construction or home maintenance. This threading tool is used to cut pipe over an inch thick by having the pipe contained in a holder to hold it in place while the tool cuts the entire diameter.
One type of professional threading machine that bike shops often use is a tool that cuts and threads bicycle spokes. This device has a holder for holding the spoke of a bicycle, with one end exposing the spoke and the other end having a cutter where the threading or cutting process takes place. The cutter is positioned in such a way that it can cut a radius in a decided position. An apparatus for threading the cut spoke is placed adjacent to the cutter, providing efficient operation of both processes.
