Thread shaping in industrial and home environments is a common problem. Without such operations, it is impossible to lay plumbing communications, carry out repairs and lay pipelines, or manufacture fasteners. Dies (dies), as a tool for making carvings on pipes and solid metal rods, are an indispensable attribute of the home craftsman.

Quality of the tools used
On sale you can find dies made from a wide variety of alloys. The following metals can be used in manufacturing:
- High-speed steel 9ХС and ХСС, Р6М5. Today it is found on sale more often than other steels. This is due to its exceptional performance and relatively low cost. Less commonly used is P18 steel, which was common at the time of the existence of the USSR.
- The quality of a tool largely depends on the precision of its production. If the shape accuracy is poor, or there are defects on the surface, then this indicates poor quality of the tool.

The cost of a tool can depend on a fairly large number of factors. As a rule, instruments from foreign manufacturers are much more expensive than domestic ones.

How to cut threads using a groove
Before you start actually cutting the thread, you should chamfer the end of the workpiece at an angle of 45 degrees. This will make it easier to roll the first turns due to the ability to position the die so that its axis is strictly parallel to the axis of the workpiece. Then you should do the following:
- the workpiece is secured in a bench vice. In this case, it is necessary to control that its axis is oriented strictly vertically;
- the tool and workpiece are lubricated with technical oil;
- the die is applied to the end of the rod strictly horizontally;
- then several initial rotations of this tool are made;
- if in the first circles a clear distortion is noticed, you should remove the bench, tap the bar being processed and start working again;
- rotation of the tool at the beginning of the cutting procedure should be accompanied by uniform pressure on the handles of the die holder;
- Having created the first few turns, you should check the horizontality of the handle and the knob. To do this you need to use a level. If the tool is oriented correctly in space, thread cutting continues along the entire length of the workpiece;
- Having made one or two turns to remove the chips, you need to turn the blade in the opposite direction half a turn;
- when approximately the middle of the piece of workpiece on which the thread is cut is reached, the pressing force can be weakened due to the start of the self-tightening process;
- Having completed the cutting, the tool should simply be returned to its original position along the thread made and removed from the workpiece.
Checking the correctness of the work performed is carried out using special templates, calipers, or by screwing on a nut of the appropriate size.
