Hi everyone.
I have just joined this forum and wondered if anyone can advise me please.
I have a woodlathe with 3/4 x 16 unf threaded spindle and want to buy a tap so that I can make custom chucks etc from wood.
I came across some taps that have the thread 3/4 x 16 unjf. I have read your posts with interest but not being an engineering person I wondered if I bought the taps, tapped the holes in hardwood ( beech or similar ) would the threads be compatible and allow me to mount the homemade chucks onto my spindles? to be honest the root thread diameter explaination goes well above my head

Any advice you can give me will be very much appreciated.
best regards.
Graham
