Sjt657 191 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I have been given a large chunk of oak to play with going to use on some blades . But the question is can I thread the wood to directly take a screw ??? Haven't chopped it up yet to try and find out .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
