Just finished part 1 of my hvac 1 class and this is what we did today on the last day. Definitly gives your arms a good workout.

[@Caliber8Tools]

For sure.

[@tcudahey9550]

Actually the deburring tool in the video is for softer metal pipe such as copper. Steel pipe uses a pipe reaming tool to de-bur the inside diameter of the pipe being threaded. Steel pipe should be reamed prior to threading. This is done to return the pipe’s inside diameter to its original bore.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Great tips thanks.

[@Caliber8Tools]

[@No_bread-and-circuses]

Great video. Other instructors say to oil the pipe before starting, and also to back the die up occasionally as you are threading in order to remove the burrs while you cut. Maybe the final reversal does it all at once, but just an alternative suggestion.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Great tip. Thanks.

[@maryannmoran-smyth3453]

Rigid makes a spiral coned reamer that is ratcheted for the deburring, also worth mentioning is the rigid pipe cutter, which makes a great complete set for this task… Keep on rockin

@@Caliber8Tools FIY- I NEVER theaded pipe that big..... I thought it would be like theading small 'stock'... I was freakin' putting the tool on the pipe the wrong way! Rookie mistake!!!! But after watching your 'totally rad' video, I corrected my issues and it threaded just fine!!! WOO HOO!!!!! Also,, I HAD my great, great uncles die set from when they worked in the oil fields in OK. in the early 1900s but I got rid of them like 15 years ago! SON OF A!!!!

[@1signortiz676]

pretty good video, Good explanation of material and assembly, BUT you should reverse the thread cutting after a few cuts not after cutting most of the material.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Good tip.

[@vince6056]

The power threaders don't reverse.

[@marcelinanoss8825]

why didn yu use the red cutter 1 inch that came with the system? Why? Cause the red ones dont work!

[@Caliber8Tools]

You have a point.

[@Joshmckenzie-stubbs]

Hi I really enjoyed your video. I just bought a cheap conduit threader and tried to thread a 25mm conduit. with alot of pressure from my hand on the die head and turning the ratchet. The die looks like it is cutting but sometimes the ratchet spins or doesn't grab the conduit. And take the conduit out and there is no thread , it has just chewed up the pipe leaving it rough with no groove or thread pitches

[@Caliber8Tools]

Did you lubricate it with cutting oil while you were cutting?

[@johnjohn-ne8fw]

Good info. Thx 👍

[@Caliber8Tools]

Glad it helped.

[@rustyshakleford5230]

I want to say that red threading set said It was for British standard pipe thread not National Pipe Taper threads like the blue one. Was the red set a harbor freight purchase online?

[@jimmysavage4198]

Can you do this to a pipe that is cross threaded?

[@bendangnungsangjamir1354]

I’ll work on that.

[@Martin-cm9gy]

Before you go putting any of those fittings on there you need to put pipe dope or Teflon tape on the male threads.

[@Caliber8Tools]

Of course.

[@carriep7812]

Great video, nice camera shots and good explanations. Any advice on where to get replacement die heads? I wouldn't even mind paying a little more for a good/better one. My 1/2" needs replacing. I have the same Vevor/Harbor Freight manual ratchet as the video. Thanks!😊

[@Caliber8Tools]

Thanks. Appreciate the feedback. You can find replacements on Vevor’s website.

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

Excellent presentation bro! I'm tired of pulling out my 300 Rigid to thread one piece of pipe on a emergency job. This would definitely facilitate things. However, shouldn't you have at least three revolutions on your fitting after threading?

[@Caliber8Tools]

Yes

[@SuperMalissimo]

Excellent…. Tks

[@Caliber8Tools]

No problem.

[@lisaln3987]

I'm trying to redo a small portion on my fire escape railing. Its black pipe. I know the store can cut my other pieces but im using your video to thread my existing pipe at the connection point

[@Caliber8Tools]

Much respect to taking it on yourself Lisa. DIY👍🏿

[@MikeMike-is2hl]

Wonder if you could use those threader's to thread several inches of a pipe. Looking to make a home made mini tire changer. I would need to thread an 18" pipe for around 6 inches. I know these are meant to thread around 1 inch but I can't see why one couldn't keep cranking. Anyone know if that's doable?

[@Caliber8Tools]

Don’t see why not. Let us know what happens.

[@demimejia9499]

I have changed 3 times the cutting die on my Riged pipe threader with no good results.the thread on the pipes keep breaking off.I have done everything watching the videos as how to do it right way please advise what am I doing wrong

[@Caliber8Tools]

Are you applying enough cutting oil? What type of pipe are you cutting?

[@pheloniousmunk]

Are you using cheap import pipe that is under nominal diameter? You changed the dies, are you sure that you installed them correctly?

[@brengineer3336]

Right that's from metal shop for boys in 1960's

[@narsingrao373]

[@Caliber8Tools]

Yes it is.

[@davidclayton6521]

I would think a small bevel at the end of the pipe would help to getting the die on

What brand pipe rachet did you use? Great video.

[@Caliber8Tools]

[@MadMax-pt3yk]

I have a question. I doubt this will work for my application. But one never knows until he asks. I am attempting to thread a 9mm barrel to except a 1/2 x 28 flash suppressor. I have made one attempt already and failed. My problem isn't threading. It's removing 2mm of metal around the barrel to handle the 1/2 cutter. The barrel is 15mm thick. Before I thread I need the barrel to be 13mm. I tried using a grinder. This is where I failed. I wasn't able to get it even all the way around. I don't own a lathe. My question.....would I be able to feed the 15mm barrel into the 1/2 ratchet threader and would it cut 1/2 x 28? I'm hoping the opening to the ratchet is slightly tapered to accommodate the 2mm of extra metal. Thanks to anyone that answers.

[@pheloniousmunk]

No. Two things....the barrel needs to be 1/2", not 13mm, and you are trying to meld two different types of threads, 1/2" NPT, which is tapered pipe thread, and 1/2 x 28 which is non-tapered machinery thread. Two very different animals. Find someone with a lathe.

[@badger3184]

Thank you so much. I was a bit confused about Stock and Dies, (the Threading process in general) Question: After you Thread, is it common to need to Ream a pipe again?

[@Caliber8Tools]

After cutting yes. Not necessarily after threading.
