Making a die is the natural followup to making a tap, and is why I made my shop made tap in the first place. The custom feed screw threads on my G Boley watchmakers lathe are an unusual geometry, but are damaged, and I need to chase them with a die to clean up the form. I learned about the techniques involved from books and KZbin videos, and took the shop made tap out for its first real workout.
The thread in question is a left hand 4mm by 0.6mm pitch with a 55 degree angle. It predates most modern thread standards, and is not compatible with any older standards I can find. This video is the first time my tap has ever cut steel.
