Totally off Healey content, but here is a stupid question Re. dies.  I =
have a piece of 1/2" OD steel pipe I want to thread (the outside).  I =
don't know the die size to use.  A 1/2" die seems way too small.  Anyone =
know what size die to use?  the number of threads doesn't matter---just =
the size of the die.

Thanks

I=E2=80=99ve got one of these. I=E2=80=99d say that it was adequate for =
