Threadchasing Tool Set by Ray Iles - 16tpi

Here's another tool Ray started making because he got so many requests. The set consists of three tools that will chase 16tpi threads. One tool is for cutting external threads; another for internal threads; and the third for undercutting the inside bottom of the internal threads so that you get a clean exit when you do the final thread cutting. This last tool can also be used as a support when using the internal thread cutter. We sent the tool set to Fred Holder, the author of Making Screw Threads in Wood and editor of More Woodturning magazine to see what he thought. He responded,

"I have a drawer full of thread chasers and these are the best I've ever used."

He was so pleased he gave us an article (Click here) he had written about threadchasing to be included with the tool set. Made of carbon steel with teeth that are correctly skewed to fit into a 16tpi thread. Beech handles. Made in England.
