And that is why you use lube when screwing

This is clearly a warning about what happens when you don't use enough lube.

Just spin slower

Interesting that you could see how much more insulation the wood provides compared to the metal clamp of the drill, because it got red quite a bit earlier under identical conditions.

Seems like a less efficient form, energy-wise.

Was that supposed to happen? Fun to watch!

Yup! It's a legitimate industrial process https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_welding

This in fact does, harm the screw

After seeing a lot of hateful and well... dumb comments. I looked it up and this is just a simple easy to understand example of how friction welding works. Actual friction welding forms a stronger joined bond and allows two materials that wouldn't otherwise be possible to be welded.

Once cooled, does this help get a stripped screw out? Serious question, might be legitimately useful.
SaltyNick95
You know what, it probably does. I've seen people removing ancient bolts by welding a bar to them. Much faster with a welding machine than trying to do friction welding, though.

Friction welding

Cute of you to think you had any choice in the matter. Once this was posted, fate was written and you were predestine to watch this video.
PimpinKen
For me, i thought "Hey cool, maybe I'll need to friction weld something one day, and i may be able to transfer some sort of knowledge!" Then about a third of the way through you realize there will be no point in real life that you would ever use this technique, but you've already invested this much time, so whatever. Then you sadly come to the realization that it's a gif that ends too soon, and you didn't even get the satisfaction of a finished product out of the entire ordeal.

What kind of metal is that little ball made out of?
Sculpin2
Probably 52100 high carbon steel or 440C stainless, both at high hardness.

It's a ball bearing, they are made from a hardenable steel.

friction weld a third screw at a 90 angle so you remove the first two screws?

If I ever need two unusable wood screws, I'll remember this information.

I already have enough of those.
MurabitoC
Eh. It's probably reversed
FeChefImgur
I wonder if you could use it as a technique to be able to remove a screw that had it's slot reamed out and you couldn't unscrew it the "normal" way. Heck of a lot of work for that, but it might be useful in edge cases.
elmesito
Exactly, a gif that ends too soon. I was hoping to see that.
AppleCrispCraver
Assuming it’s in wood, you’re better off just drilling it out at that point. For bonus points you can use a left-handed drill bit and it might even back out on its own.
thorinc
Just use an extractor bit, they're specifically made to remove stuck screws and bolts.
Dracology
If you wanted to try and get a screw out by welding a second screw to it why wouldn't you just.. weld it normally
FeChefImgur
Because I don't have a welder, but I do have a drill ?
NickRivieraMD
don't have a welder?
krielovas
Cut the head off the stuck screw, tighten the drill chuck around the now headless shanks and reverse the screw
FeChefImgur
that only works if the stuck screw isn't flush with the surface of the material. Admittedly doing this kind of friction weld onto a screw that is still fully into the wood is probably going to really mess up the piece of wood too.
