You never talk about finding the angle for the piece of metal in the screw die. How is it determined?

@davidaglenn I talk about it in the next two parts.

What size is the router bit?

[MrCartersAccount]

@TheRussianMercenary I use a standard 90 degree router bit. About 1/2" in diameter for 1/2" deep. As long as the bit is as wide as the distance between each tooth. That is one reason why I recommend going up to a 1 1/3 TPI thread pattern because the largest common 90 degree router bits you can find only go up to 3/4" in diameter.
