Troubleshooting
Die nut not cutting threads effectively
Ensure the die nut is correctly seated and secured in the die holder. Check if the die nut's cutting edges are clean and free from debris. Verify that you are using the correct die holder and applying appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant.
Difficulty fitting die nut into holder
Confirm that you are using the specified Connect die holder (Part No. 37023). Ensure there is no dirt or damage on the die nut or the holder's slot. The die nut is precisely manufactured and should fit snugly.
Die nut wears out quickly
Reduce the amount of force applied during threading. Ensure proper lubrication is used, as this reduces friction and heat, extending the life of the cutting edges. Clean the die nut thoroughly after each use to remove abrasive material.
