Troubleshooting
Die is not cutting threads cleanly
Ensure adequate lubrication with cutting fluid. Check that the die is securely mounted and not damaged. Verify the correct thread pitch (M22 x 1.5) is being used on the workpiece material. Make sure the die is not dulled; consider replacement if worn.
Die slips during operation
Confirm the die is properly seated and secured in the 50mm die holder using the holder's locking mechanism. Ensure the die holder itself is securely gripped.
Difficulty starting a new thread
Ensure the starting edge of the workpiece is slightly chamfered. Apply firm, steady pressure and use a slight rocking motion to help the die bite into the material. Use lubrication.
Tool shows signs of rust
Clean the die thoroughly and apply a rust-inhibiting oil. Store in a dry place away from moisture.
