the best tap and die

[Stufin135]

Don't know what your thoughts are on this, but I had a few customers that thought this was brilliant. Since putting them in no one has bought them (although saying they are a good idea). So all I have is good feedback from before we got them into stock.

Your hearing! We bought one out of curiosity and they’re not really worth the effort in my opinion, if im ever doing enough conduit to warrant power threading then I’d get a proper thread cutting machine.

I do a fair bit of metal work and you need one of these https://www.amazon.com/Bare-Tool-Milwaukee-2625-20-One-Handed-Reciprocating/dp/B003EZWK42 saves so much time and effort, as for stock and dies the best ones I've used are all like 30 years old, as above though you need a decent cutting paste.

I still have my old ones from 30 years ago, still find Tallow one of the best cutting pastes.
With some cheap dies you may need to take the edge of the conduit so it "grips" when you first start.

I really need to find mine and clean them up, can't remember the make but I need to thank Matthew Hall for supplying them back in 1987.

yes mate my one its same as one on photo 1..the problem its element two on the picture..i dont know the exacly name ..they have to be 25mm wide but on most of them its 27mm wide..now when you try to thread conduit you cant thread properly them because its hard to keep exacly 90 degre to the conduit to make proper threding..for that i ask here if any one have this problem before and if its possyble to find one tap and die who its 25mm and not 27mm wide..

The guide will be slightly bigger than conduit, so 27mm sounds right. Could be the cutting die is blunt or the conduit isn’t cut square, making the thread start of angle.

Stupid question but have you put the die in the right way around?

Bahco 396-LAP Laplander Folding Saw is my fav. And for tap and die set you can choose Matco 76 piece (676TD) metric and standard tap and die set
