When you cut threads in wood do you lubricate??
When I thread metal I always use a cutting oil or at least WD40 but I always cut wood dry.... So today as I was cutting threads I started wondering if I should lubricate it. I tried putting Mineral Oil on just before my last cut.
The results were nice clean threads and less chipping.
What do you do???
