Why a Threading Die Starts Crooked

A die can start crooked when the rod end is not chamfered, the die is not square or the setup is unstable.

Dies: selection checklist

• Chamfer and clean the rod end.
• Use a suitable die stock and keep the die square.
• Apply lubricant and break chips regularly.

How to choose the right option

1. Stop and inspect the tool, workpiece and machine interface.
2. Correct the size, geometry, setup or cutting condition involved.
3. Run a controlled test and inspect the result before returning to production.
