Intambo ekulukweni lwe-hexagon yangaphandle ngokuvamile iyintambo evamile yezinyo elincane, kanti i-screw yangaphandle ye-hexagon enentambo evamile yezinyo eliyindandatho inesakhiwo esihle sokuthengisa, esisetshenziswa kakhulu ezingxenyeni ezinezindonga ezincane noma ngaphansi kokushaywa, ukudlidliza noma umthwalo oshintshashintshayo.

Ngokuvamile, izikulufo zangaphandle ezinezinhlangothi eziyisithupha zenziwe ngezintambo ezingaphelele, kanti izikulufo zangaphandle ezinezinhlangothi eziyisithupha ezigcwele zisetshenziswa kakhulu ezimweni lapho ubude obujwayelekile besikulufo sangaphandle esinezinhlangothi eziyisithupha bufushane futhi kudingeka intambo ende. Izikulufo zangaphandle ezinezinhlangothi eziyisithupha ezinezimbobo zisetshenziswa ezimweni lapho izikulufo zangaphandle ezinezinhlangothi eziyisithupha kudingeka zikhiywe. Isikulufo sangaphandle esinezinhlangothi eziyisithupha esinembobo eboshwe ngentambo singalungisa ngokunembile indawo yesigaba sengxenye exhunyiwe. Futhi singanqunywa futhi sikhishwe ngamandla esikhunta.

Inzuzo ye-hexagon yangaphandle ukuthi indawo yokuxhumana yokuqinisa inkulu, futhi amandla amakhulu okuqinisa angasetshenziswa, okuvame ukusetshenziswa emishinini emikhulu, intengo iphansi kune-hexagon yangaphakathi, kodwa ububi ukuthi ithatha isikhala esikhulu futhi ayikwazi ukusetshenziswa emigodini engaphansi kwamanzi.

Isikulufu sangaphakathi esinama-hexagonal sivame ukusetshenziswa emishinini, esinenzuzo enkulu yokubopha kalula, ukuqaqa, i-engeli engelula ukuyishelela njalo njalo. Isikulufu sangaphakathi esinama-hexagonal sivame ukujika ngama-90 °. Esinye isiphetho side kanti esinye sifushane. Uma usebenzisa uhlangothi olufushane ukushaya isikulufu, uhlangothi olude lwesandla lungasindisa amandla amaningi futhi luqinise isikulufu kangcono. Isiphetho eside sinekhanda elihlukanisiwe (isilinda esinama-hexagonal esifana nesiyingi) kanye nekhanda eliyisicaba, elingathambekela kalula ekuqaqeni nasekufakeni ezinye izingxenye zesiphatho ezingathandeki.

Izindleko zokukhiqiza zeheksagoni yangaphandle ziphansi kakhulu kunezeheksagoni yangaphakathi, futhi inzuzo yayo ukuthi isikulufu (indawo yamandla yesikrufu) sincane kuneheksagoni yangaphakathi, futhi kwezinye izindawo asinakuthathelwa indawo yiheksagoni yangaphakathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, imishini enezindleko eziphansi, amandla aphansi ashukumisayo kanye nokunemba okuphansi isebenzisa izikulufu zeheksagoni zangaphakathi ezincane kakhulu kuneheksagoni zangaphandle.

Inzuzo ye-hexagon yangaphakathi ukuthi ithatha isikhala esincane futhi ingasetshenziswa njengekhanda elingaphansi, elivame ukusetshenziswa emishinini emincane, kodwa ububi ukuthi indawo yokuxhumana yokuqinisa incane futhi ayikwazi ukusebenzisa amandla amaningi okuqinisa, futhi intengo ibiza kancane. Uma idlula ubude obuthile, ngeke kube khona intambo egcwele.
