Thank you for a clear and simple video. After watching it I reground the taper at the end of the shaft and that finally allowed me to get the die started. Very satisfying feeling when it’s all done.
Thanks a lot for this video. A quick question, what if you have ma rod of 8mm and you have to thread it M6? I have an 8mm rod where I want to add a 6mm thread (M6) to screw it on a support. What do I use to manually center sand the 8mm rod to 6mm to then add the thread ? !?!?!
Question : I have 8 mm diameter rod and I tried to dies it using M8/1.25 dies tool, but it so difficult to screw it to the rod. So I tried the M9 dies and it went perfectly. So is there any tips or rule about rod diameter vs dies size ? Thanks
@IMAT - This informative video is getting on the older side, so I don't know if you monitor it these days, but I've got a question about threading pipe that I hope you can answer for me. I've got a project in mind that will require 1.5" threaded rod in 4-foot lengths. As you can imagine, it's extremely expensive to buy this type of threaded rod, so my question is whether or not it is possible to use a ratcheting pipe threader to cut usable thread along the entire length of a 4-foot section of steel pipe? The ideal being to use less-expensive Sch 80 steel pipe to create an alternative to 1.5" steel threaded rod. Thank you for any help.
i’ve been absent for a while, but I’m trying to answer all my comments. Pipe threads are tapered, it's what makes them seal or are you just trying to use a pipe threader to do this job with regular threads?
@@Mikesfilmss I'll be needing to run nuts up and down the threads. The ideal is to use multiple threaded pipes as vertical supports for very heavy duty 2" thick wooden shelving. The spacing of the shelves needs to be adjustable; hence, the need for threads along the entire length of each 4-foot length of pipe. Thank you for giving this some thought for me.
A heating and air conditioning shop could cut extended threads on gas pipe for your project. They have machines adept at doing this. You would not want to attempt continuous threads with hand power.
Is there a trick for doing this to aluminum? The whole rod breaks off like butter after 2 threads. Yes, crappy aluminum, but I cant make the part from scratch anymore...it already cost me a serious injury and I just want to get this this done...
@@eviscero I managed to do it...it was a very small component in an alcohol pump. About 3/8" I ended up starting over, with better aluminum, or was it a steel piece...I cant remember now, but it did work. The rubber cups ended up being a pain (used vacuum caps that I cut).

How do you ensure it starts straight, and not crooked, without a guide?

Thank you. exactly what I was looking for. Does this technic work for a tube/pipe?
If I had to guess but idk we use a rigid pipe threader.

Perfect demonstration! thank you for the learning experience
Where to get the DIY and how you determine the sizes?
What was the actual size of the precut rod?
When cutting threads, it helps to clean the drill of chips and oil it beforehand, as in this video

Good👍👍
how to stop rod from spinning in the vice. some reason a new tap albeit from China seems to grab the rod
Good content. Thanks for uploading
My threads always end up uneven
How do you mean? Is your part bend from machining the threads or off center?
No adjustment on the die set screw for depth of cut?
Is it a harder job to do it to stainless?
You bet, stainless is a harder metal than mild steel. Be gentle with your dies or they will break.
Go slow very slow, 1/4 turn ,(stop and count 1,2,3 in uiur head)1/4 turn ,(1,2,3) 1/4 turn(1,2 ,3)
How do you measure rod size and match die to rod?
4:08, Oh yes, I can feel it. So hot! Lmao

what OD rod?

Thanks man I’m going to do this to my coilover I bout a new set and using my impact I snapped the damn thing now I need to rethread thank you
Very helpful and clear. Thanks for sharing
“Chamfer” not taper. A taper would be a longer transition to a smaller diameter.
Would this work on a keyed shaft?
Cool
Good
helpful hints, good sir
Good video
