Firast let me start by saying I'm a woodworker, and only have access to woodworking machines.
I have been trying to figure out a way to tap a hole for a wooden screw, for bench screws for vises. The inner diameter is 1 1/2" and the outer is 2 1/2".
The hole is 3" deep and the piece of wood its in is 6' long. The wood is hard maple.
And I have to make 40 of these holes for workbenches for my woodworking club. (10 benches, 4 vises each)
For 1 or two holes I could make a tap by inserting a cutter in a wooden screw and slowly scraping it out but I'm looking for an easier way.
Does anyone know of a method or where I can buy a tap this size?
