Lets Get Started!

ALL PARTS NEEDED TO BUILD YOUR 20X40 V-SLOT MONITOR STAND

TAP (WITH SELF TAPPING SCREWS) ALL FOUR CORNERS OF THE ENDS 20X40 V-SLOT

HERE ARE FEW TIPS TO TRY AND FOLLOW:​

• TRY TO USE A DIFFERENT SELF TAPPING SCREW EVERY OTHER TIME YOU TAP A V-SLOT END. THIS KEEPS THE THREADS SHARP AND FRESH.
• SET YOUR DRILL TO LOW AND SET THE RATCHET LEVEL SO WHEN YOUR SELF TAPPING SCREW BOTTOMS OUT IT WILL NOT STRIP THE HEAD.
• ALSO REMEMBER TO DRILL IN SMALL INCREMENTS BACKING IN AND OUT AND RESTARTING AS YOU SET THE THREADS

-NOTICE- THREADS MADE IN TAPPED ENDS
