The process ensures that critical bolts do not loosen because of vibration, or other forces, and attached parts don't fall off. When creating safety wire bolts, you need machines that are able to drill small diameter holes through the bolt head or body. For this stage we recommend the DrillMate. The DrillMate can efficiently cross drill safety wire bolts in regular and heavy hex heads, socket heads, 12 point bolts, and round bar. This makes the DrillMate ideal for drilling bolts for safety wire.  [Read More](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/drillmate-safety-wire-bolt-cross-drills) Posted in: [bolt cross drill](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/bolt-cross-drill) ## [Drilling Bolts for Safety Wire](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/207499/Drilling-Bolts-for-Safety-Wire) [![Drilling Bolts for Safety Wire](https://l.msi-tx.com/hs-fs/file-15078737-jpg/images/drillmate-2.jpg) ](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/207499/Drilling-Bolts-for-Safety-Wire) by: Wayne Moncla on Aug 19, 2014 Safety Wire Bolts  [Read More](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/207499/Drilling-Bolts-for-Safety-Wire) Posted in: [bolt cross drill](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/bolt-cross-drill) ## [Safety Wire Bolt Drilling and Chamfering with Barnhart Bolt](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/62735/Safety-Wire-Bolt-Drilling-and-Chamfering-with-Barnhart-Bolt) [![Safety Wire Bolt Drilling and Chamfering with Barnhart Bolt](https://l.msi-tx.com/hs-fs/file-15078737-jpg/images/drillmate-2.jpg) ](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/62735/Safety-Wire-Bolt-Drilling-and-Chamfering-with-Barnhart-Bolt) by: Wayne Moncla on Jul 19, 2011 Using a safety wire or lock wires with safety wire bolts is common in the oil & gas industry, as well in aircraft and racing, as an extra precaution to keep critical bolts from unintentionally loosening and the attached parts from falling off due to vibration or other forces.  [Read More](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/62735/Safety-Wire-Bolt-Drilling-and-Chamfering-with-Barnhart-Bolt) Posted in: [chamfering machine](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/chamfering-machine), [bolt cross drill](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/bolt-cross-drill), [chamfer bolt](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/chamfer-bolt), [safety wire bolts](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/safety-wire-bolts) ## [Same Day Stud Bolt Service From Smith Fastener](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/49375/Same-Day-Stud-Bolt-Service-From-Smith-Fastener) [![Same Day Stud Bolt Service From Smith Fastener](https://l.msi-tx.com/hs-fs/file-15096862-jpg/images/smith_staff1-resized-600.jpg) ](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/49375/Same-Day-Stud-Bolt-Service-From-Smith-Fastener) by: Wayne Moncla on Nov 30, 2010 Smith Fastener of Charleston, WV is a family owned, full line fastener distributor specializing in fastener products for companies involved in Equipment Manufacturing, Mining, Oil Refineries, Chemical Manufacturing, Steel and Aluminum Manufacturing, Utilities and Transportation, and Industrial Construction.  [Read More](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/49375/Same-Day-Stud-Bolt-Service-From-Smith-Fastener) Posted in: [chamfering machine](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/chamfering-machine), [bolt cross drill](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/bolt-cross-drill), [chamfer bolt](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/chamfer-bolt), [chamfering tool](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/chamfering-tool), [chamfer rod](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/chamfer-rod), [nut assembly tables](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/nut-assembly-tables), [chamfer stud](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/chamfer-stud) ## [Welcome to the MSI Blog!](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/43939/Welcome-to-the-MSI-Blog) [![Welcome to the MSI Blog!](https://l.msi-tx.com/hs-fs/file-15087385-jpg/images/msi-100_hydraulic_bar_shear.jpg) ](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/43939/Welcome-to-the-MSI-Blog) by: Wayne Moncla on Aug 31, 2010 Welcome to the MSI blog where we hope to engage customers in conversations about manufacturing equipment solutions, material processing problems, and ways to improve the processing and manufacture of things like tubes, pipes, bolts, bar stock, and other metal parts.  [Read More](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/bid/43939/Welcome-to-the-MSI-Blog) Posted in: [chamfering machine](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/chamfering-machine), [bolt cross drill](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/bolt-cross-drill), [Bar Shear](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/bar-shear), [nut assembly tables](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/nut-assembly-tables), [cylindrical part feeder](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/cylindrical-part-feeder), [bolt shortening tools](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/bolt-shortening-tools), [beveling machine](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/topic/beveling-machine) [** All Posts ](https://l.msi-tx.com/blog/all) ### Subscribe to Email Updates [![Request For Quote](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/63827/f584a1b8-a767-4fc4-903d-bbc20306ff75.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/63827/f584a1b8-a767-4fc4-903d-bbc20306ff75) ### Posts by Topic -
