Motor -Wooden mount question
I made a wooden (birch wood) mount for my outrunner motor. It is firmly glued and the motor is fixed in it by 4 screws in front.
Although screws are tight, they can still be tightenned and the screw head really presses into the wood. Should I tighten even more , will it mess the wood which is 1/8 " or less thick? Also can I use loctite (medium) for those screws?
Thx

My suggestion would be to include some wide washers to support the screw heads, that will spread the load out rather than having the screw head pull itself through the wood. You could use locktight but it should be unecessary with screws in wood.

RE: Motor -Wooden mount question
It appears that either we are confused or you. The screws should be going through the motor mount into the wood not the opposite way. Actually since wood is only 1/8 inch thick that don't seem like very good motor mount. Something is wrong here. Perhaps you can give a better explanation.
