- Step 1: Drill. For making a threaded hole, you first need to make a main hole that removes most of the material, except for the threaded area.
- Step 2: Tap. If you have a proper tap, you can tap the pilot hole the same way you would any other material, but you won't need any oil.
- Step 3: Reinforce the Threads.
- Step 4: Done.
Also to know is, can wood be threaded?
Threading wood is very easy but you need to make sure that your thread is perpendicular to the surface of the hole. Unlike threading metal, here we do not want to use oil — as it will prevent the super glue from adhering to the wood fibers.

Beside above, how do you make wood taps?
Make a Wood Tap From a Bolt
- Step 1: Tools and Materials. Tools:
- Step 2: Shape Tap. If using a bolt, cut off the hex head.
- Step 3: Clamp Tap and Cut Flutes. Clamp your tap on a work bench or in a vice and cut 3 or 4 flutes along the tap.
- Step 4: Clean Up Threads. Using a nut, run it up and down your tap.
- Step 5: Tap Hole.
There are two types of Hand Taps:
- Taper Tap. A taper tap has quite a lot of taper to help it ease into cutting threads gradually.
- Bottoming Tap.
- Plug Tap.
- Spiral Point Taps (Gun Nose or Bull Nose Taps)
- Spiral Flute Taps or Gun Taps.
- Interrupted Thread Tap.
- Pipe Taps.
- Form or Roll Taps (Thread Forming Taps)
