> 3 dayBenchcrafted sends machine-threaded screws to attach the Retro Crisscross and Glide hardware for their renowned leg vise, rather than wood lag bolts/screws. Surprisingly for me, they actually worked quite well. This Bottom Tap has thread cutters almost to the end of the tool, allowing you to drill a hole slightly longer than the effective depth of the screw, unlike the taps available at big-box home improvement stores which have a longer distance between the full-sized cutting thread and the end of the tap. Since Im using it on Southern Yellow Pine, theres no appreciable wear on the tap while using it, and it was the right tool for this job.
