Solder can melt at the temperature that most forge bits are subjected to, especially after shut down. Threads, when properly sealed with teflon tape or pipe compound, are a much safer alternative. Making it a little easier or faster to put together might not be the best trade off when the potential penalty might be an uncontrolable property eating fireball in your garage or where ever you chose to do your work.
