I'm getting ready to thread holes and bolts for a Cradle I'm doing. The only thing I know for sure is that you need to lubricate them, while cutting. Mine are hand held.

I am going to build a attachment to cut thread in a wood lathe. I also can cut thread with a router in this attachment. I sure hope it will work so I can make boxes with threaded tops. Has any one done this before? If yes what kind of luck did you have?:D

In order to be a bono-fide member of SMC... If you're gonna use fifty-cent words, you should at least spell them right. It's bona fide, not bono fide. No hyphen, either.

I'm learning how to hand-chase threads with a set of internal and external thread chasers. I'm using these, made by Crown:

I'm a hands-on kinda guy, and it's fun. I'm pretty good at making external threads, but haven't had much success with internals yet.

The point is clearly made by Ken.

LET IT GO!!!!!!!!! Please

Fred,
Your plan to cut threads on a wood lathe sounds cool to me, and I sure look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Hi Fred. Glad to see you here.:cool:

Welocme to the Creek.

The Baxter, which is a rip-off of the Bonnie Kline, works well in most all woods. There is some setup time and a procedure is required. It is easy to achieve good results.

Thread chaseing is fast once you are practiced at it. Thread chaseing works well on close grain woods like Boxwood and Dogwood. Results on open grain wood is disapointing. A good project to practice thread chaseing on is nut and bolt.

Fred,

I purchased the Beale wood threader over a decade ago and have used it to thread nuts and make bolts for lots of projects. You can also use metal cutting taps to cut female threads in wood, it works surprisingly well.

The Beale threader uses a router jig to machine male threads. The system works well and allows you to adjust the fit.

If we corrected all the spelling errors here we wouldn't have time for anything else.
Fortunately, I don't have that problem as I never make misteaks. ;)

[Jason Hallowell]

I have cut numerous threads in wood, but never on a wood lathe. I made billiard cues for a while, and I used live tooling atatched to a metal lathe to get extreme accuracy, but many cuemakers use standard metal cutting taps and dies instead, and get pretty good results. Of course this only works for smaller sizes.

We can't all be perfect like some folks think they are. I edited the post just to make you happy.

Ken I haven't figured out who has time to see if everyone is spelling the 50 cent words correctly. :confused: :confused:

You edited, or think you edited it.:D ;)

I sure don't think I'm perfect. I was just suggesting that your boilerplate be corrected, so you don't continue to repeat the typo. Sorry for trying to help. :confused:

I will fly cut threads of many sizes with method. I have seen it done I just haven try to do it yet. I have used taps and dies to cut thread in wool before. But to make so many different sizes you usely do not have the right sizr tap or die. Does that make sence to you, I'm not sure if I explained myself well enough. Thanks for your info.

Thanks for all the help. I have chaced a few thread but not very well. But I think I can fly cut the thread in close areas and do a good job. At lease in my head I can see it working well. If and when I cut one I will post it.
