Thread cutters come in pairs and include a tool for exterior threads and one for cutting matching interior threads. Perfectly designed for making screw tight lids on boxes and caskets, this fascinating and practical aspect of woodturning includes a range of cutting tools that have been produced from High Speed Steel in 10, 16 and 20 threads per inch (TPI) and 3,5 mm. They have been designed with a unique, enhanced helix angle specially designed for use in wood.

These new 3.5 mm Thread Cutters are suitable for larger projects that do not require a fine thread, and also for woods with a more open grain.
The larger pitch is also ideal to fit a turned project onto a M33 x 3.5 mm lathe spindle thread.

To complement these tools, a range of optional items have been produced to provide a complete solution to thread cutting. These include:

RS895H Relief Cutting Tool – designed to help the turner avoid stripping out the bottom of boxes when thread cutting.

RS893H Tool Support Rest – to make forming internal threads easier.

RS973 Thread and Sizing Gauge – takes all the guesswork out of dimensioning.
