274571 Kirk Eppler 2021‑09‑17 Re: Wood tap and die
Dan

Having never done this, although I have acquired a few taps and one screw
box, none matching, I will offer my 2 cents anyways.


Search the archives for Tom Conroy and wood threads.  He has posted a lot
on the subject (213 hits), and probably has made more threaded rods than I
have made misteaks (well, maybe not that many, maybe mysteaks this month,
or year).  He will talk about how this thread set is probably too fine
pitch, what wood you want, how to prep etc.  And they are all a good read.

Very similar to what the other guys have already posted, but combined into
one post, with lots of extra personal experience.
