Abstract
A handheld wood thread cutting tool with an elongated shank formed with a planar surface and including a first end and a second end with a length substantially longer than its width. The first end has a first wood thread cutting edge aligned substantially in parallel relative to a first vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and passing through the length of the elongated shank from the first end to the second end. The second end has a second wood thread cutting edge aligned substantially parallel to a second vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and running through the width of the elongated shank from a first side wall to a second side wall. A ball handle is affixed between the first and the second end.

A handheld wood thread cutting tool comprising:
- an elongated shank including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the elongated shank being formed with a planar surface, having a length substantially longer than its width, and having a first side wall and a second side wall opposing the first sidewall;
- the first end having a first wood thread cutting edge aligned substantially in parallel relative to a first vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and running across the length of the elongated shank from the first end to the second end;
- the second end having a second wood thread cutting edge aligned substantially parallel to a second vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and the first vertical plane, and running across the width of the elongated shank from the first side wall to the second side wall;
- and a ball handle affixed to the shank between the first and the second end.
A handheld wood thread cutting tool comprising:
- an elongated shank including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the elongated shank being formed with a planar surface, having a length substantially longer than its width, and having a first sidewall and a second sidewall each of the opposing sidewalls having a plurality of curvatures;
- the first end having a first wood thread cutting edge, including a first negative rake at one edge, aligned substantially in parallel relative to a first vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and running across the length of the elongated shank from the first end to the second end;
- the second end having a second wood thread cutting edge, including a second negative rake at one edge, aligned substantially parallel to a second vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and the first vertical plane and running across the width of the elongated shank from the first side wall to the second side wall;
- and a ball handle with a rippled or dimpled surface, the ball handle being affixed to the shank between the first and the second end.
A handheld wood thread cutting tool comprising:
- an elongated shank including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the elongated shank being formed with a cylindrical surface, having a length substantially longer than its diameter;
- the first end having a first wood thread cutting edge;
- the second end having a second wood thread cutting edge;
- and a cylindrical handle affixed between the first and the second end.
A kit for a handheld wood thread cutting tool comprising:
- at least one elongated shank including a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the elongated shank being formed with a planar surface, having a length substantially longer than its width, and having a first side wall and a second side wall opposing the first sidewall;
- the first end having a first wood thread cutting edge aligned substantially in parallel relative to a first vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and running across the length of the elongated shank from the first end to the second end;
- the second end having a second wood thread cutting edge aligned substantially parallel to a second vertical plane perpendicular to the planar surface and the first vertical plane, and running across the width of the elongated shank from the first side wall to the second side wall;
- and a ball handle adapted to be affixed to the at least one elongated shank between the first and the second end.
A handheld wood thread cutting tool comprising:
- an elongated shank having a length substantially longer than its width and a first end and a second end opposite the first end, a first wood thread cutting edge at said first end, a second wood thread cutting edge at said second end, and a ball handle affixed to the shank between the first end and the second end.
