Oh man, this gave me flashbacks to my plumber's apprentice days from 40 years ago when I was 17. Everything about working with black pipe was terrible. (getting the machine out of the van, clamping it to the van and putting it together, being covered with sharp metal pieces and cutting oil, the smell still makes me nauseous, cutting the holes in the rafters on the very top of a step ladder, getting my arms and body wound up in between the joists around the huge angle drill, getting the pipe run to the roof then testing it and finding one small leak in the attic and having to take it apart and do it again, then having to break down the machine and lift it back into the van at the end of the day when I am dog tired and hurting all over)
start the machine on the pipe like you do, but don't worry about the oil right away. Once you have the threads started, keep the machine turning and with the free hand squirt oil in the reliefs of the die head. Its harder on the machine to start and stop mid thread. Put a 5 gallon pail under to catch the excess oil and the tailings. Clean the threads with a wire brush before applying the pipe dope. 30 Year pipefitter.
Hi Lee! Thank you very much for your tips. I'll certainly do the bucket trick and keep things working without stopping. That makes sense. I'd love to hear about the various pipe fitting jobs you've done over the years. What kind of installations and pipe sizes have you worked with? Bye for now and thanks for commenting. Steve P.S. Have you had a chance to use the Milwaukee threader yet?

7:00 For your railing, do you like the look of exposed threads? After the cap is threaded on, there are still a lot of threads showing. I'm curious if it was a preference, or the die requires to create that many threads.
buena maquina amigo su explicación es fenomenal acá en Colombia vale mucha plata para nosotros pero es una belleza aquí vale mas que una roscadora de banco con motor china pero el uso que mas le veo es en planta cuando hay que cambiar un tubo en producción y no se puede usar soldadura puede estar en una posición difícil o en altura a ahi si que sirve esa maquina
With this same Milwaukee cordless threader? Must be nice to work for a balling company. Us peasants have to use Ridgid threaders they're heavy and awkward to carry.
So do you get scrape and bite marks from the pipe holders? How do you fix those if at all? I have filed the high spots, but then the finish is not the same and more prone to rusting. Any fixes?
I have been tearing threads. What do you think? Dull or worn-out dies? What is you insight as to what type dies to use as a replacement? I see ‘Alloy’. And I see ‘High Speed”. What is the difference? Thanks for the video. 😊👍
woooowww.... i wish i could have it..... in the 🇵🇭 i use manual.... its so tire but its ok ...... i like that tools..... but i think it's expensive...🤔😔😔😔😔😔
You def got it down. If I could offer some advice though. Don’t stop mid thread to apply oil. Use your free hand to apply oil throughout the thread. Stopping puts a lot of pressure on them dies and can chip your threads when you restart. If your doing a good bit of threading I’d invest in a ridgid oiler to recycle the oil. Other than that. Not to bad. I’ve never used one of them power pony’s before. I’m a union sprinklerfitter so the ridgid 300 is our money maker.

Hi Glen! Yes, that's true. I've also come to like the smell of diesel exhaust. Not too much exhaust, but a little always makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something. I guess it's because every time I smell diesel it's either around my tractor, or perhaps a concrete truck or forklift - all machines that get stuff done! Thanks for watching! Steve
I think that threader tool is more for threading gas pipe in place. For example there is leak and the pipe has to be cut near the leak and the pipe that was cut has to be threaded in a wall in place that is the on the side that didn't have the leak.
Hi, can you use this to make a reverse thread? Looking to learn on how best to make a reverse thread on 1/2" black pipes. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you
Hi.... Please can you help me solve or know how to solve problems or real situations of take off in threaded joints. For this examples: 1) A piece of NPS ∅2" pipe is being cut to run between two 90° degree threaded fittings. The center-to-center measurement of the fittings is 7'-2¼". What is the cut length of the pipe? 2) A length of NPS ∅1½ inch pipe is to be cut run between two 90° degree 6.000# threaded fittings. The fittings measure 7 ft 2¼ inches center to center. What is the cut length of the pipe? Regards.... Thanks
I usually use the Rigid 300 pipe threading machine with oiling gun and catch bucket with pedal control for turning threader on and off and the tripod stand holding the machine up.🧰💪😁👍
Yeah I admire the tool and would love one for my hobby and experimental work, but $1500+ is way too much for someone who doesn't have the business capacity to use it profitably enough to make that money back within three months.
You are threading to far. The die should be flush with the end and not a smidge more. When threading to long as you do, your actually leaving a cylidrical end that will bottom out in the female before the whole tapered thread has a chance to engage like it should. The point with using tapered theeads is that they should be tapered…

Hello Mr.Bailey do u have a video of sanding a black pipe without tools just a sandsheet
Very good and nice your heartwork

Forgot to Put that white dope on it? Or does that cap don't need it ?
How short of pipe nibs can you make with this machine?
pretty cool. thanks buddy.
I just started a new job and this is what I’m doing it’s pretty easy once you figure it out
With this same Milwaukee cordless threader? Must be nice to work for a balling company. Us peasants have to use Ridgid threaders they're heavy and awkward to carry.
Manually threading 1 1/2; you gotta have some serious 'grunt' capability! LOL
So do you get scrape and bite marks from the pipe holders? How do you fix those if at all? I have filed the high spots, but then the finish is not the same and more prone to rusting. Any fixes?
What is name of this thread machine please
I have been tearing threads. What do you think? Dull or worn-out dies?
What is you insight as to what type dies to use as a replacement? I see ‘Alloy’. And I see ‘High Speed”.
What is the difference?
Thanks for the video. 😊👍
When he whipped out the cordless power threader yo, that looked like a sci-fi movie rifle
how much is the rate of the machine
I am form Bangladesh, i need this
Nice 😊
What size is the pipe you’re cutting and the die your using? Is there some where I can look at buying any of those? The manual version or powered?
Where can I buy it & How much?
woooowww.... i wish i could have it..... in the 🇵🇭 i use manual.... its so tire but its ok ...... i like that tools..... but i think it's expensive...🤔😔😔😔😔😔
How to buy this machine plz reply
It is simple to use BUT AT THE COST OF ABOUT $1,400.00!!!!!!
I suppose if you're doing this stuff a lot, the saving in time will pay for the device before too long.
@@andrewford80 For a professional, $1,400 definitely pays for itself within a few jobs. Unfortunately out of the range for average joes.
It’s not going to cost you $800 buddy. That’s a big machine.
$1800 AUD down here in Australia. No one uses gal pipe anymore.

doesn;t look like 4" pipe will work with this model? Ever thread cold rolled 1018 pipe with this machine?
2” max
@@charliejackson7982 thanks
Always deburr the pipe before you begin threading.
I’m kinda sad I didn’t get to smell the cutting oil. There’s nothing like the smell of cutting oil.
Hi Glen!
Yes, that's true. I've also come to like the smell of diesel exhaust. Not too much exhaust, but a little always makes me feel like I'm accomplishing something. I guess it's because every time I smell diesel it's either around my tractor, or perhaps a concrete truck or forklift - all machines that get stuff done!

Suitable for hard metal pipe like SS Stainless Steel
I want one👍

How to change the blade of a treader
I would buy a used Ridgid 300. Way easier and faster operation.
Sir why not use sheafty gloves
Can tread 4 di pipe
Whats the investment $?
Can you thread pipe in the middle?
No. Pipe threads are tapered And there wouldn't be any practical point to do so
Almost 9 minutes video, skipped and watch 30 seconds of actual use, thats how extremely fast i learn the machine👍
Will never replace my 300 never ever. Oil while cutting !
Pls how much is ihe pris
Hi.... Please can you help me solve or know how to solve problems or real situations of take off in threaded joints.
For this examples:
1) A piece of NPS ∅2" pipe is being cut to run between two 90° degree threaded fittings. The center-to-center measurement of the fittings is 7'-2¼". What is the cut length of the pipe?
2) A length of NPS ∅1½ inch pipe is to be cut run between two 90° degree 6.000# threaded fittings. The fittings measure 7 ft 2¼ inches center to center. What is the cut length of the pipe?
Regards.... Thanks
What is the process? Dont hate on Lee, buddy on video is legit a rookie
Just find the fitting allowances and subtract each fitting allowance from the center to center to calculate end to end pipe length.
I usually use the Rigid 300 pipe threading machine with oiling gun and catch bucket with pedal control for turning threader on and off and the tripod stand holding the machine up.🧰💪😁👍
Wow
"how to cut how to thread pipe extremely fast"
*Pulls out $2,000 tool*
Well played sir 🤣
Assembly
That cordless cutter won’t last an hour of continuous cutting
Pro-tip: if you watch the video at 2x speed, the pipe is threaded extremely fast-er!
Answer. Spend $1,300 on a tool
Cool but I would never in a million years use this over a ridgid 300
I would. You and use this in the building on an existing pipe, and with that clamp you can thread a pipe that's not in a pipe vise
#citsanditistudypoint
Good
You are turning the machine the backwards
There is nothing "extremely fast" about threading pipe like this.
Yeah I admire the tool and would love one for my hobby and experimental work, but $1500+ is way too much for someone who doesn't have the business capacity to use it profitably enough to make that money back within three months.
Get a cheaper one at Habor Freight learn on it by doing smaller jobs , this will tell you weather investing in a more expensive threader is valid.
I bought mine from a random website, about 699.0
Look up hong li, same as ridgid but made in china and a shit load cheaper
Manual is better. Nothing beats the old way
This guy loves to waste cutting oil. You need to keep the cutting edge lubricated, not the tailing edge.
Yeah not everybody can afford it $2,500 cordless tool and sit on a shelf for 99% of the year
Wrong you oil while you cut
Why spend the money on a "real machine" if you only thread pipe once in a while
You are threading to far. The die should be flush with the end and not a smidge more. When threading to long as you do, your actually leaving a cylidrical end that will bottom out in the female before the whole tapered thread has a chance to engage like it should. The point with using tapered theeads is that they should be tapered…
"How to cut extremely fast"... Use a $2,000 tool.
Thanks captain obvious, I thought you had some helpful tips, not just showing off an expensive tool.
Get a real machine
WTF LMFAO!!
Every tool u used is supporting ccp when someone is so cheap they have blinders on
