acme thread for large wood screw
I want to make a wood screw for a vise(2in. dia). I have tried using
dried and green oak and 3 tpi. The threads for the nut cut very nicely but the outside threads are a mess. Lots of chipping and tearing. Is it the wood, the tool grind ,or me? I have also tried cherry and it was worse than oak. My brother ground the tool for the inside threads and I ground the tool for outside and am a relative clutz so I hope it is just the grind. Anyone with experience doing this? Thanks, Bob |
