Wood Whisperer Thread Taps Pre-Sale

Video - February 10, 2017

Now for something entirely unexpected. In collaboration with Andy Klein, we’re bringing a brand new tool to the market called Wood Whisperer Thread Taps. The tools are designed specifically for wood and can cut common sized coarse threads in seconds.

Because we know you’re probably wondering just how strong wooden threads can be, Andy devised a simple test and you can check that out here.

By the way, these taps are being manufactured right here in the US!

Andy and I thank you for your support and participation in the Wood Whisperer Thread Taps Pre-Sale.

Good stuff guys – these will be way better than trying to chuck metal taps into the drill. Do you charge CCs now or closer to the time of shipping?

It looks like you need to be a guild member to order.
is that correct?
These are a perfect idea.

  Nope. Just place your order and create your account as you go. If you had to be a member to make purchases, we’d never get new members. :)

I try to avoid watching tool videos (especially yours) around my wife. Hew eyes tend to roll into the back of her head. But this one i showed her (after I saw the cost) with excitement. These do not exist in wood working without spending way to much money. Thank you tool God.

  Jake, that is too funny, as I am a tool wife and my husband is the one that rolls his eyes.

Wow, great idea! Does this include all the sizes needed for the Split-Top Roubo build?

Reply
- Marc Spagnuolo February 26, 2017 9:20 am
  
  Some, I think. But the ones used in the Roubo build were dictated by the hardware included by Benchcrafted, so there are some oddball sizes in there.

The demo shows how well they work on face grain, and I think they are a great idea. How well do they work on end grain? Say, if I wanted to re-make the Kid’s Table & Chair Set?
Trying to save enough to pre-order…

  They can work, but it’s not the best orientation for the threads. So we generally recommend against using it in end grain unless you test to make sure they hold up in your particular situation.

Mark- I am currently building a benchcrafted “Classic work bench” And would like to keep the long rails and top removable in case I have to move it some day. The bench design calls for draw bored pegs, I was thinking I could use your wood taps instead and bolt the long rails together. Think this would work? I know benchcrafted sells the bench nuts but this seems less complicated.

  They would work, but whether you should go that route is totally up to you. The threads would need to be cut into the leg. Then you’d connect the rail with some all thread that goes through a hole in the rail. Then you can secure the thread in the rail using a nut and washer. For reference, look at that I did in this build: http://www.thewoodwhisperer.co.....the-rails/
  
  The point is you don’t want the threads in end grain. You can make them, but I am not sure how strong they’d be.

Does the full (metric) set come in some kind of case or will they be shipped loose? Already ordered so just curious
Cheers

  Final packaging has not been determined yet but at the very least, each bit will be in its own protective case.

  Hi Jack. The taps will deliver as promised in June. If we can get them out any earlier we certainly well. And just to clarify, there are no drill bits includes with the taps. They are stand-alone taps.

Will there be a chart that comes with the taps that tells me what size pilot hole to drill for each tap? It would be nice if it did. Just hopin’.

  Yes, of course. :)

  Late June is our goal for sending them out. We’re still on target for that.

I thought that I had already ordered a 1/4 inch tap by simply signing in a couple of months ago. That appears not to be the procuring mechanism, unfortunately. So, how do I formally place an order with you?

Reply
- Marc Spagnuolo June 20, 2017 8:34 am
  
  If you didn’t place an order during the pre-order period, you have to wait until we have the taps in stock and make them available for sale in the store. Should be around the middle of July.

  Some have. We recently received at least SOME of each size so the sets are going out as we speak.

Mark, I remember seeing your video (second one I think) where you demonstrated the tighter fit with your tap a compared to a standard metal tap. I have written several articles extolling the virtues of your tap but could not find the video to link in. Is it still available.
