Just another thought if you haven’t chased threads before. Use some tapping fluid. There are some alternatives to going and buying the fluid. Make sure you cut about a 1 turn worth of threads and back it off a bit to break the thread. Then repeat. Keeps the die from binding and will guarantee you a better thread. Back off the thread and clean off the cut chips after each turn.Thats just a brilliant idea. Thanks so much. I was thinking about renting a large tap and die set with the big handle at a local parts store, but I like your innovative, free approach, and will do that.
