Description
Cutting threads in wood with a router prevents the cross-grain breakage that can occur with a thread box. Easy to set up, this is an effective thread-cutting system for dowels or custom parts. The kit includes all you need to start cutting and tapping threads.
Your router clamps directly to the wood and aluminum table and is aligned using an included aluminum centering sleeve. A precision-machined low-friction threading insert ensures accuracy without marking your wood.
Internal threads are produced with a three-flute combination tap specially designed to cut easily and cleanly. The tap has a removable pilot with the capacity to tap a full thread to within 7/16" of the bottom of a hole, rendering separate bottoming taps unnecessary.
The socket-head screw that secures the pilot to the tap body is quickly and easily removed and is just as easily reattached with the included wrench.
A solid carbide three-flute 60° bit (1/4" shank) is included.
Also available as part of a set at a substantial saving over buying the kits individually.
