The best, easiest and shortest way to make a wooden bolt and nut. I need 2 of these sets, I'll try to do it tomorrow, maybe I can, or maybe not! Thanks to the Master!))
I also have made wooden nuts and screws with Carter's technique years ago. I found soaking the stock in thinned linseed oil for a week helps with less tearing in the cross grain areas while cutting both the nut threads and shaping the spiral threads on the screw. You can improve on the adjustment of the cutter by setting a locking screw through the tap guide which holds the cutter. I made several cutters all out of file blank scrap. I also sloped the cutting angle to make a skewed cut rather than a square scraper. Good luck
I had pretty good luck in hard maple with brushing on some oil. I would guess that softer woods could benefit from soaking. I think sharpening the cutter for a skewed cut is a great idea. I will keep that in mind if I use this threading method in the future.
I had some 1/8 inch thick O-1 tool steel from another project. I made the cutter from that. You might be able to get away with mild steel if you don't mind stopping to sharpen from time to time. If you have a lot of holes to tap you will want something that holds an edge.
Nice Job Mike... It might get you an even better result if you soak all wood involved in linseed oil for a week and as lube for cutting a coat of beeswax on the matching surfaces.
The cutter sits in a tapered mortise with a small wedge to keep it in place. If you go to the part one video you can see it better. th-cam.com/video/1JtCFJo6z3w/w-d-xo.html Also you can see a very detailed series of tutorials on making these without a CNC. th-cam.com/users/MrCartersAccount
You don't have to heat treat the cutter, you will just need to sharpen much more often. I'm working in hard maple and will tap 14 holes before I am done so I heat treated mine.
I must admit, I admire your precision and attention to detail, but it seems to me you're WAY over-thinking this; I've seen other fellers just jam an old nail or a pin of some sort into the "guide block" instead of a metal plate & that seems to work just fine.

For cutter material you can try the end of a spade bit or chisel, anything with some high carbon steel in it.
thank you very much for this video.....makes it absolutely clear how to go about making these.....and the step by step is fantastic!!!
Sounds like a great idea.
Nice work Mike !
Thanks

Не понял как и куда ставится резец
I wondered what you my tablet kept playing tbt, really freaked me out man. right on
Brilliant way of doing it, thank you for sharing.
Good job
единственное правильное видео в инете про деревянные винты своими руками молодец!!!
Полностью с вами согласен.
also soak the part w/male threads in parafin wax before cutting
Hi
You don't show how the cutter is fixed
The cutter sits in a tapered mortise with a small wedge to keep it in place. If you go to the part one video you can see it better. th-cam.com/video/1JtCFJo6z3w/w-d-xo.html

Is there a reason you heat treat the metal? Can you use the cutter without heat treating it?

I guess in an application like this the circle's eccentricity is inconsequential, as it's sitting on an angle when you scribe the line.
bravo sei molto preciso

use light mineral oil

How do you manage the helix ( thread angle ) with just a nail as a guide?
It happened this time!
+Doug Keen Check the link in the video description. His channel has information on how to make the screw and the nut without CNC.
Widen hole. Expansion!
use lots of Bees Wax
