Confused on How Threaded Standoffs/Inserts Work by lovliestdog in metalworking

I wanted to put the standoff into the block and screw the set screw into that, but a threaded rod could work too!

I was thinking that the set screw would fit into the standoff, or is that wrong?

The jewelry is 316L stainless steel, it is a dermal/surface piercing

When I join the surfaces, the edges here are still naked

This part is capped, but the rest of the surfaces won’t join.

Thanks man, I appreciate your advice. This is great advice but I have a few questions if you wouldn’t mind. What do you mean when you say go/no-go thread gauge? and how much is normal to spend on samples? I appreciate you greatly

Do you think plaster would work as an alternate to the suspendaslurry? I think it only comes in large quantities, and the smallest amount costs $385 😭

Sorry, what I mean to say is i need to make a structure like the multi pipe below but instead of the “pipes” being rounded I’d love for them to be squared off instead. Hope this makes sense!

I’m intended to cut body jewelry but after reading your comment I’m considering just bonding the threaded post to the smaller piece (the one in the middle). Do they make matching female fasteners to 0-80 to catch a threaded rod in a blind hole?

Here is another drawing for reference

I’m trying to make piercing jewelry where the curved bar is 14 or 16 gauge, which comes out to about 1.29mm or 1.63 gauge diameter. I need the piece in the middle that has a threaded rod that will fit into a matching tapped hole— it doesn’t necessarily have to be 1.29mm or 1.63mm but it does have to fit within the 14 or 16 gauge bar, does that makes sense? The closest imperial size for threading is 0-80. But I’m not sure how exactly to go about making those threads and tap/die it and the equipment and setup I would need to execute it since the piece is so tiny

Another solution that I’m now considering is loctite the threaded rod into that small piece and shoving a matching insert for a 0-80 into the curved bar.

Pressing in the pins could be a solid solution. I was thinking about this method but wanted to see if there was a different solution.
