[Healeys] BSF Taps and Dies

[Tom Felts]

Totally off Healey content, but here is a stupid question Re. dies.  I have a piece of 1/2" OD steel pipe I want to thread (the outside).  I don't know the die size to use.  A 1/2" die seems way too small.  Anyone know what size die to use?  the number of threads doesn't matter---just the size of the die.ThanksTom

I just want them to clean up threads.  Should be adequate for that..Mike M

I’ve got one of these. I’d say that it was adequate for an amateur (me). The taps and dies are OK, but the tools are pretty marginal.
