Dies used to cut bolt threads are also tapered. The idea is that the first edges cut shallow and each following edge cuts progressively deeper. Bolts you see without a taper are rolled on the bolt without removing metal.
Cheers James, yeah that's a good point you make. I love learning new stuff, but lately I've started to think well hell, I have this workshop - I better produce something out of it. I have produced quite a lot but sometimes it doesn't feel enough. caught in a rut somehow?
I got some similar clamps from China. I was unable to get suitable pipe easily where I live but was able to get some 25mm dowel. Sanded a slight taper in one end and then used the thread in the pipe clamp end to cut the thread and lock itself onto the dowel. Works just fine.
Hey Rob - nice solution to the problem - 25mm dowel would be plenty strong enough too for most things. I thought of using pvc pipe a couple of times but it is nowhere near rigid enough - never thought of using dowel though. That stuff is super expensive here though. Cheers man! 🥓
Hey Rob , I was electrician in the USA ! We use straight threads on electric pipes! I understand what you are saying! I am retiring now. I have a RUclips channel too! I have made my pipe clamps too! Thanks for sharing your videos Best Regards BobLee
Throwing more money at it was a definite red pill/blue pill moment - especially after I found out there was a guy that does it 1.609 km (a mile) up the road. But as "we" are fond of saying - We got there in the end. 🥓🤛 (How's things with you man?)
Cheers m8! Yep - I'm quite into a good specification. One of my favourite books is the 1967 reprint of The Complete Dollar & Cent Reckoner & Discount Tables.
Well explained Rob, I like that you’ve gone through the analysis of all things related to how & why the threads ended up the way they did initially, cheers mate 🍻🎥🔨👍👍👍👍
Great job explaining NPT vs. NPS. Actually pipe machines have adjustable dies. You should be able to turn a fitting 2.5-3 turns by hand to know your threading deep enough. I am having a problem finding an electric handheld threader that decent and won’t break the bank. Trying to get into making the steam punk lamps to sale
Great video Rob and you got there in the end so well done mate. This importing business is always interesting. Over here on the west island one of our billionaire retailers convinced the government that they should put GST on on-line purchases from overseas for items less than a $1000 even though Treasury and others said it wasn't cost effective. Anyhow some years ago I bought a special tool from England, cost me $21 shipped to my door in Brisbane all the way from Birmingham I think. If GST would have applied back then it would have added $2.10 (stay with me I'm going somewhere with this) bringing it up to $23.10. The cheapest I could get that same tool in Australia was about $69. My purchase was relatively painless, but if you are prepared to put up with the s..t it pays.
Cheers Bob, our clevernuts are imposing the same gst here in some cases now too, things are still cheaper amazingly. It has to do with the high cost of living here... People gotta eat, including importers. I'm amazed at the level of detail with which you remember your transaction from years ago. I didn't mention it in the vid but I got to keep the first incorrectly delivered set of dies, and the die head that came to replace it. Basically he never mentioned wanting it back, so now I have spares for Africa! I got two sets of dies and a die head for 30 bucks.. Not bad.
Hi from Auckland. I'm always complaining about the prices we get charged in NZ for tools etc. We really get ripped off here. I recently did a series of videos on building a spin indexer. You can buy them in the US for around $65 US. But, in NZ the cheapest I have seen in on TradeMe is almost $500. That is for the exact same model so someone is making a lot of money on the deal. Happy New Year.
Hi mate happy new year. I've bought a few tools from USA now and it usually ends up cheaper but sometimes not by as much as you'd think unfortunately. They have it pretty good though aye!
Cheer James mate. These bessey pipe clamps have such massive clamping power. my little chinese ones feel like they're gonna snap every time I torque them up.
Very informative video thanks for sharing! Finally now you can call yourshelf the pipe clamp expert! If you visit Greece come by the house to make some threads and have bbq! 😉👍
Hi there, and thanks for the info, my question is, how do i go about ordering the teeth for the 1/2 inch die, i can seem to find any other brands except RIGID on Amazon .......and what brand do you have
Hi there, my die set is from Amazon but the replacement cutters that I bought is Garrick. Sometimes I think it's easier and not that much more expensive just to buy a whole new unit, especially if you're worried about compatibility between your 1/2" die and the RIGID cutters. As long as the ratchet wrench thingy is the same size you should be good to go. A lot of engineering shops can do pipe threading for a smallish charge as well.
Thank you for this video... I actually learnt something about pipes and threads etc... would not have been anywhere near as interesting if you didn't break it first and just gave the info
Hey Jamie, thanks for the feedback - much appreciated. I try to include the success and the failures in my vids - just whatever occurs with the particular project that I'm working on. Cheers, Rob

When the zombie apocalypse hits NZ and people be needing threaded pipes because unthreaded pipe just won't cut it, who ya gonna call? 🧟♂️
I'm going to Australia when that happens - I have a dinghy that I keep for that purpose specifically.
Kuffys Woodwork Rob Busters 💪💪☝️🤞👍👍👍
8:30 Brilliant. Pissed myself.
so far 9:03 hasn't got any comments specifically
Glad you got it figured out .Cheers from the US. 🇺🇸
You got there in the end! Pipe clamps? Screw em! 🤣
noice 🤛

The art of creating threads is very fascinating! Cheers for telling me this. 👍
Good on you for persevering Rob. It is the whole point of having a workshop isn't it. To learn new stuff.
Cheers James, yeah that's a good point you make. I love learning new stuff, but lately I've started to think well hell, I have this workshop - I better produce something out of it. I have produced quite a lot but sometimes it doesn't feel enough. caught in a rut somehow?
I think this is the funniest video yet! Also educational on the NPT vs. NPS, it totally makes sense now why it broke.
Cheers dude -glad it made sense .... and made smiles.

@@TakamiWoodshop Paid $NZ 20 for a 1.8m length.
That's not bad actually - I paid about 35 bucks for a 1.8 of 40mm pine dowel at Mitre10
Hey Rob , I was electrician in the USA ! We use straight threads on electric pipes! I understand what you are saying! I am retiring now. I have a RUclips channel too! I have made my pipe clamps too! Thanks for sharing your videos Best Regards BobLee
Hey Bob! Yes it makes sense - straight threads for rigidity without requiring a seal. Thanks for watching. I watch your channel sometimes too!
It was a heroic journey through a deep threaded rabbit hole ::)

Awesome effort Rob, great video !!!
Thanks mate, you're next in line to use the threader!
Educational for you and us, well done, especially on that mammoth editing job... phew!
cheers dude - it was a bit of a mish editing this one - got well confused by the end of it and forgot to watch RSA vs NAM
The buying the threaded pipe segment 😂 love it. Great video bud 👊
hehehe - my version everything that is wrong about youtube. 😆
Well explained Rob, I like that you’ve gone through the analysis of all things related to how & why the threads ended up the way they did initially, cheers mate 🍻🎥🔨👍👍👍👍
Cheers Sumo from Downunder. Hope it all made sense and didn't put you to sleep. 💤💤
Man, bit of a drama but got there in the end. 👍🏾
Loved the video, loved your shout out to those special folks😜😆😅😂

Good job, mate. 👌🏾

Thanks man! Yeah the handheld threaders ain't cheap that's for sure. Good luck with your business venture - those lamps are super cool! 🤙
Am enjoying this" thread" , missed your videos and wit man , if you were an Aussie id say never "pipe down mate" , cheers :)
Ha! I see what you did there - nice riff on "thread". And duly noted that you noted that I'm not and Aussie 🤛. Cheers man! 🥩
Great video! Thanks for sharing your learning experience(and making me laugh)
