You will not be able to cut threads with your router.


Tell Beall that. They've been selling a tool for that for years.
www.bealltool.com/ (though it doesn't appear to be up right now)


You mean this:

They use taps to cut the internal threads.

If the guy is going to make a pool cue he would be better off using a metal
bezel that would joint the two halves of the cue than to try and rely on
threading wood to give a nice tight fit. Every wood thread I have ever
seen has a whole lot of slop in it and that probably would not be ideal for
a pool cue. A loose fit between the front and back half of the cue will
dampen the energy you are trying to deliver to the cue ball.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.
