What is a wavy link?

The corrugated fastening element is a thin strip of sheet that has an alternating groove formula. These fasteners are usually made from 18 to 22 stainless steel sheets. While they are relatively thin, the grooved shape of the undulating fastener gives it a surprisingly high level of strength and durability.

The corrugated fasteners are available in a number of sizes, but generally fall between one and three inches (25.4 and 76.2 mm) in length. They have one sharp pointed end and one flat end that has ended. Sharp ridges run down the sides of the undulating fastener, which after installation help him keep more safely on the wood. They can be used on many different types of wooden joints and are one of the most common fasteners for joint joining. Corrugated fasteners are used for carpentry such as tables and furniture, and harsh carpentry, including components that are hidden from supervision. For a dispute with small or delicate pieces of wood can also be used by a undulating connector that canbe damaged by nails or screws.

There are two basic types of corrugated fasteners, including parallel and angular units. Parallel units have grooves running in parallel lines along the shaft. They are the safest of these two types and are the best choice for slices of mites or harder wood species. The angle units have grooves running at an angle to the shaft and are less capable than parallel units for safe connection of wood.

The corrugated fastening elements are installed manually by means of a hammer. First, the fastening element should be installed to one of the wood components, while the fastening element goes about half the thickness of the wood. The second piece of wood can then be added and hammered. For finer work, place the second piece of wood on the fastening element and alternate the hammer on two pieces of wood to connect them a little at once. Corrugated fastening elements should never run the sametowards a wooden grain, because it can divide wood.

For harder wood types, it can be too difficult to use a hammer. In this type of application, the undulating weapon can be used to automatically install these fasteners. These weapons can also be used in commercial work and other extensive projects to quickly and easily install corrugated fasteners.
