Thread: Threading jig

Looking at the website, that tool is made in the US so you might want to ask on the newsgroup rec.crafts.woodturning - that newsgroup is predominantley American readers so they may be able to help you better than this group which is predominantley Australian,

haven't seen that type but I know hand taps and dies for cutting wood threads are available . The jig you are after appears to drill the hole as it cuts the thread what do you use if for , knobs handles perhaps & how bo you retract it or do you leave it engaged and reverse the lathe & if so you must have a geared screw turning lathe . Looks a bit too complex for this wood butcher





The trouble with life is there's no background music.

If it's a standard thread a metal tap will do in some cases.
When I flew R/C I used a standard metal tap to run a thread through jarrah and 1/4 ply all the time without problems - the thread was for the wing attaching bolts so if there was a problem with the thread you knew about it.

Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll certainly visit the news group you indicated.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

This jig does not drill the hole. You use it to cut either external or internal thread. The wooden piece you want to thread is held by a device which can move left/right, back/ forth. Therefore when the thread is done, you move your piece laterally (perpendicular to your lathe). I mostly use it to thread small boxes and their top. It is a very ingenious device . I made the Bonnie Klein machine out of wood which makes it rather inexpensive following the indication of a Canadian wood turner

Thanks a lot! Very precious link indeed

I was at the Sydney WWW show on friday and Enzo from Vermec in Brissy has exactly this cutter together with a device to feed the work into the cutter to do inside and outside threads. It looks like a very well machined bit of gear (as all Enzo's is) and gives a total solution for threading. The rig cuts 16TPI threads as standard but can do other pitches with modification.
Not cheap @ $450.00 but if you need the best.......

Jean Michel left us in May. I knew him, had few notices and recently learned he died in MAY.
Jean was a very generous individual, and some of you might have used his drawings of a variety of turning jigs. He was always ready to help via mail those who needed some more directions in constructing his jigs.
Hyvette, his wife no longer open's jean's mail, but I think she would apreciate a word from those who appreciated jean's generosity.
If you want to do so, send your mail to a very good family friend. Gérard Bonin, his mail is:

Many thanks to you all
