Possibly I have done extensive metal threading with a boring bar in my engineering days but at the slow feeds of threading with a boring bare in the legacy the wood has a terrible chance of tearing really bad I don’t say its impossible, I could do something on the metal lathe but this is about doing it on the legacy go try it you might get it to work. soaking the wood in oil for a few days would defiantly help with this but after you would never get any finish but an oil to adhere to the wood.

My brother does metal work and I've watched him use a boring bar for threading deeper? Kind Regards, Timothy J.

So - how did you get a nut ~6" deep threaded? Go 3" in - then turn the nut around and cut threads from the inside to the outside?

It is described as one for cutting threads in wood - with a 90º angle. Bill, you (and maybe others) discussed the angle of the "the valley" the cutter makes - that it is different for metal vs wood. Is it also different for hard woods vs soft woods? Has anyone used the below Magnate bit to make threads? https://www.ebay.com/itm/153156308964?ul_noapp=true Have a Safe & Fun-filled weekend!
