Woodthreading Kit

This kit is designed for cutting both external and internal threads in wood. It is commonly used for producing homemade vices, clamps and jigs, childrens toys and furniture. The kit contains a screw box for cutting the male thread and a matching wood tap with tommy bar for producing the female thread.

The thread box is made from hardwood and features two comfortable handles for easy exertion of pressure when cutting the threads. To create an external thread you simply clamp a piece of 19mm dowel in a vice, place the thread box over the dowel and gently rotate. The inner steel cutting tool then shaves the thread on the dowel. There is a wear resistant aluminium bushing for accurate dowel guidance and a hole in the side of the thread box to ensure there is no clogging and to give visibility of the cutting process.

To create a matching internal thread you pre drill a 16mm pilot hole in your timber, then insert the supplied steel tap and rotate by hand using the tommy bar. The tap creates a clean accurate internal thread which is perfect for the corresponding male thread. The resulting threads are both strong and tight fitting. ©
