Seems thread milling is the latest solution, but I also came across tapping heads - not even sure if those would work on this machine though given heigh restrictions and compatibility with the dewalt router.

Thread milling vs tappingcost

If the threading must be done on the CNC, thread milling is it with these machines. It is a well established process, but you will need to run test pieces with the tooling to be used and good CAM software. Thread mills need to be specified with the thread spec in mind, to have proper clearance, access, and give proper thread form, as the tool is not strictly a form tool, due to the helix.

Thread MillingCalculator

I’ve seen some have success with threadmilling. I don’t think a tapping head is practical - there’s no way to turn the router that slowly.

I tend to mill odd size threads where I don’t have a tap (or die), singletons where the time is small and setting up tap/die will take longer, cases where using a tap/die may risk the part for other reasons (material type, for example), and cases where there won’t be room for the tap (or die) to do the job (external threading a stud machined in a pocket-- a feature that was not possible any other way, since there wasn’t material thickness to use a stud insert in a tapped hole without going through, which would have then required more work to seal, and so on)

I do mill threads, but especially if there are a lot of holes, I generally pilot on the CNC and tap on the drill press with a tapping head (or hand tap, if appropriate). It is faster and taps are cheaper than thread mills for volume work.
