Flutemaster threading jig *LINK*
john lucas
for those interested in threading I stopped at the Flutemaster booth at the AAW symposium and talked with them quite a bit. Very interesting machine. It cuts an 8 thread pitch which is good for larger boxes, and it cuts a double start 16TPI thread. The advantage and maybe disadvantage of that is that when you screw the lid on it will go on faster. I have always hated to just screw and screw and screw a lid to get it to bottom out so naturally I try to make as few threads as possible. This should speed that up. The downside is it will start and therefore stop in 2 different positions. Good if you just want to put a lid on because there are two starting points. Bad if you want the grain to align.
Anyway it is a cool machine and has some nice features over the other threaders available.
The other cool thing they had (besides the flutmaster of course) is the spiral cutting jig. It uses the flutmaster to hold the router and cuts 3 different rates of spiral.
check them out. I have no affiliation and they probably don't even know me other than that guy who asked a lot of questions.
