The best Round Threading Dies: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Looks good. I don't think $30 would be unreasonable. Maybe up to $50, but would depend on the area. Where I'm at walnut shorts aren't much more and might draw a higher price.

Only criticism, and I don't have much room to talk, on the front the grain doesn't match. I wouldn't even notice, but working on some stuff right now where I need to match the edge grain.

Really though, it's a good looking piece. I'd be proud to show it off. Love the finish; really brings out the grain of the oak.

If you want to tap some 510 thread holes, but personally I would just put some 8mm'ish holes in the bottom. 510 threads in wood would just get stripped out and collect gunk and don't offer anything, but some small holes sunk into it makes them sit better (maybe you did do that; can't tell from the pic).

It’s cheap so go slow and use plenty of lube

Small to none. You would have better luck at a local machine gun. Harbor Freight might have one, since they import everything from China, but a for warning they suck. They are cheap on Amazon and Ebay.

To close this one out, this did worked great at cleaning up the threads on the stock threads:

Ultimately though shout out to u/yetisoldier for hooking me up with a 28mm screw that worked perfect! Even better than factory, to be exact 😎

You can but straight thread (not tapered) pipe thread dies as well as straight thread taps. Using one or both should allow running them deeper.

There's not much lateral play, more rocking back and forth play when it's partially threaded. But that goes away when I snug it up.

I figured out a little more. I couldn't tell what exactly it was snugging up against while threading. It turns out that the snug position is the position I unscrewed the chuck to before finding the set screw. So the messed up spindle threads are preventing the chuck from screwing in all the way.

This should mean that if I clean up the burrs on the threads, it should thread on all the way. And hopefully there are enough good threads on both the spindle and the chuck to give a secure fit.

I could clean up the threads with a file. A die would be better, and $16 would be a bargain to save the lathe. And from the reviews, it sounds like this is the main use of this size die!

I just used this one on my ar 9mm barrel

You can get an M35x1 metric die on amazon for $48

But if you need pipe threads that may be an issue. Did you purchase a 35mm pipe or is this something that was installed or laying around. Unless you specifically bought a 35mm pipe I find it hard to believe this isn’t some standard size. OD on a 1” pipe is 1.315”; 35mm is 1.378”

If it’s a 1” pipe lots of places will be able to thread it. They have the machines at Home Depot but idk if they will do it on any pipe you bring in.

Woah 270$

Yes any 1" x 24 TPI will work, hardware stores or something of that nature, online even. I'm sure you can find one alot cheaper

It is a 1" steerer right? Either way, major diameter and number of threads in an inch and you're good to go

Edit:

Here : 1-24 die Don't forget the handle

I mean, technically it's not a firearm part here is the die from Amazon by itself, and here is a kit that doesn't appear to have issues shipping to CA. Looking at other stuff on their site there are CA bullshit warnings on same stuff. It is literally a die, handle, piece of metal with good threads to start, and some cutting fluid.

Do you have the pipe?

And if this isn't you, maybe you should PM them and ask what they did.
