Well, back about 4 or 5 years ago I bought a couple pieces of 3/4” all thread in both 10 and 16 tpi as well as some nuts and a 60 degree cutter. Sat in a drawer and then packed away for our move.
I’d always thought it would be a nice alternative to the traditional hand threading tools. Can’t believe how quickly I got this together in a couple hours. Still need to make a threaded support block for the 16 tpi bar. A lot of folks just use nuts in a vise or welded to a bar for this, but tapping results in having less play. I don’t have another block of nylon so will try some hard wood like red tip photinia and see how it holds up.
Will be sure to post something once threaded!
