How about making a carriage on wheels that will fit the Legacy. Have
the jig, the router and carriage all move as one. Now install the dowel
between centers and get it to start turning. With a slight pressure it
will catch and start the threads. The guides in the jig will allow for
movement/advancement down the rod. The only other two things I can
think of is a limit switch if motorized and a pulley at the end of the
rail and a rope for advancement help so the threads are not doing all
the work.

Hi Dustin,
I got all excited and thought those where done on the Legacy. For an
easier time with the Beall threading jig, my thoughts would be save your arm
and make a tenon on the end of the dowel that will fit a cordless drill and
make all you want with little effort. This is assuming your using the one
that uses the trim router and feeding the dowel in the hole. Thanks for
posting the project, I bet it's a real conversation piece.

What I find the most time consuming with the threaded rod is running
it through the Beall wood threader router jig by hand turning. It's
around 30 minutes per 4 foot section to thread by hand; if the
tolerance is a little tight on the rod, then it turns into a forearm
endurance exercise. I'd love to have 20 or so pre-threaded rods ready
to go when I get inspired, but I'm just hate doing it after the 3rd or
4th one. That's one of those things I'd like to automate a bit.

don't worry about what you call cluttering the group it doesn't matter how
many attempts as long as it gets posted
great shelving with the threads I like it. my guess is Tim will soon post
a tutorial on how to successfully post pictures
to remind us all how its done I just hit reply to the email when it
arrives and attach them that way.
at the moment the finest thread a can do on the legacy is 2 threads per
inch. if I can figure out a way of doing finer I will post it for you
how do you do the threads now?
