I have a project that requires putting threads on several one inch Oak
Dowels. They will then be threaded into either Oak, Maple , Walnut or
Aspen in one inch deep bottom tapped holes. My tap & die kit is from
HF and has seen a lot of use. Are there any special tricks to stop
tearing etc and keeping a crisp thread?
