For everyone saying shit about him making this its just an idea he is showing you, you dont have to have the milling machine to make it I've made many of these with my die grinder ive also made these for things that they don't sell thread chasers for such as gate valve stems

Exactly. I live 20 miles from the nearest town, it was a large size die so hard to find and not cheap. Didn't want to wait, was curious if this would work. Worked like a charm and I learned something. Thanks for the comment, it's nice to hear from people who understand. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Yes.., this is the kind of thing we did often in the auto shop I formerly owned. After hours or a Saturday and you need to get the job out the door? Yes it beats waiting and yes it worked to save 8 bolts not readily available.

To slightly straighten and clean out dirty threads, you can make three hacksaw cuts on the face of a nut and screw it down with the cuts on the leading edge. The junk exits out the cuts. Try it, it works. I have used it on gas tank hanger bolts and hand brake adjusters, etc.

I like to see people trying to get by with what they have at hand. I would suggest taking it easy with the hacksaw. Nice, even strokes. You can use more than just the middle of the blade. It will last longer if you do. With longer strokes it won't bounce around and cuts don't wander so much. Let the saw do the work while concentrating on making a straight and even cut. Fast, erratic sawing takes longer than calm steady sawing. Everything you do in your work area will turn out far better and be much safer if you steady down, just a little bit. You obviously have the determination, imagination and the ability to solve problems using what you have. Best wishes.

You could make one with no mill or DRO. Just screw a bolt in flush with a jam nut under it. Place in a vice on a drill press and drill a hole in each corner half on nut half on bolt when done remove the bolt and you should have the same thing. Of course this is just a idea at this time as I have not tried it. But other sounds like it should work

You might want to put some gap-filling glue in before drilling (something that won't be strong enough to hold the nut locked and expands a little on setting and is easy enough to just pull out afterward) or you might end up shattering your drillbit..

Se você tem uma oficina mecânica com ferramentas sofisticas, inclusive elétricas e não tem uma tarraxa para roscas em parafusos, então o melhor a fazer é fechar a quitanda!

I'ts been a while but I don't think so. It was not really meant to cut threads but to chase them. The nuts not super hard and does not have a lead cut into it. I don't think it would successfully cut new threads but worked great to clean up damaged threads. Thanks for watching!

Would you say that it probably worked as a "forming" die? It probably did, or a combination of the forming and cutting. Nice solution. Nice trick.

American big boys have well equipped shops though a simple drill and vice would suffice. Just about everyone has a neighbor with a welder. Of course In a pinch you will get the job done. This isn’t the job for some moron who wears a suit all week and pays his kid neighbor to mow his lawn. Especially when these larger dies often cost $50 and you end up waiting 4 weeks from Hong Kong you spent a few minutes and $2 and got the job done with simple skills. Good work! I am one who appreciates ingenuity and those of us who actually equip our home garages with tools rather than act like a welder and drill press are out of reach for the average person, lol.

Your hacksaw blade is not tight enough. If you increase the tension you will experience much better performance from the tool. Just a pro tip

If anyone had to make one of these would be me. I have no lathe, I have no mill, I have nothing of that sort to help me. I have a rechargeable drill and drill bits and welders. I loose.

Can't think like that, could cut those channels with a file I bet. Then rather than welding you could just hold it closed with a pair of vice grips, or keep the die in the vice as drive the bolt.

I understand the neat factor of doing this but if one puts a price on their time I wonder how it would compare to just buying the factory made die? And the factory version would cut threads for the next time you needed it not be wore out like the homemade die

Nicap2 , I have more than just a set of dies myself. In fact I have $1200 in various taps and dies and every month a half dozen times I find more taps and dies I don’t own. Do you realize how many sizes and various pitches there are? Have to say that’s a stupid comment considering. Obviously it was something needing to be done in a pinch because the particular size was not available for immediate need.especially once you start needing 30mm and larger and all the various 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, 2.0, 2.25, 2.5, 3, and so on this little list is $350 in dies not including taps alone. Now buy 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38..,42.., 50.., You people don’t get it! And for 8 bolts? I see the justification clearly. Perhaps because being seasoned and not a rookie is the difference.

You don't need a dro. You just need a dremel and a grinding tip. I just did that with a regular nut, (they didn't have grd 8 3/4 x 16) chased up some moderately dented threads - didn't even need to split/weld it. Worked just fine. Cost me $1.25 and about 20 minutes. This is a great idea, saved me the $ and the time of buying this from e-bay. This isn't a NASA protocol video, just a good idea that you should be able to adapt based on your resources and your needs.
