Can any body make any suggestions. I bought 10 lenghts of pipe unthreaded located a power and manual threader ridgid 12-r .
Started my first cut using lots of oil (oiler came w/threader) goes good then fetches up , i reverse it oil again but it has torn out several threads.
Try it again and it is gouging out the steel. I cut it off and try by hand very similar results junk!!. I check the die and one cutter has a chunk out.
I call a friend and brings me a new die, I try it manually and it cuts good but on the reverse it seems to catch and tear out threads.
Is it possible that the steel is that bad it's from mid east or something sch 40 astm etc etc. I'm not a rookie at treading pipe, I threaded 1" pipe and 1.25 pipe
for my dairy barn vacuum and water lines.
Anybody have any suggestions short of returning pipe I wanted 1.25 for my furnace run instead of 2 - 1' pex lines? thanks
