Used this machine for years. Only issue I seen and I’ve done it lol when using a rag and cleaned it off, if a little jagged piece was there, ouch lol but, fine job. You’ll have ppl complain and critique your work!

Yeah I've been snagged by the burrs a few times too lol they hurt pretty bad.

I was asking people to teach me how to use it and they were always too busy. I'm going to practice after everyone leaves...

That's the truth lol this machine was new it was still in the crate with assembly directions. New concept for me lol

Me too- it just reinforces all the bad habits I’ve seen over the last 40 years.

Yo I’ve never seen someone put a pipe wrench on the fitting while letting the 300 lock the pipe in.. that was some good advice.. I’m gonna fit it at work.. I take it out.. throw it in a vice and tighten that thing on myself.. thanks for the tips!

Let me start off by saying rule #1 of threading pipe...NEVER EVER stop the machine while still threading the pipe. Hence the reason you had to run it back through to clean it up. Also to get proper make in on the fitting you set your dies to get 3-3 1/2 turn by hand. What’s the deal with oiling all parts of the thread your supposed to oil the top in the back where it’s cutting and it’ll run all over the threads. You got some bad habits running that machine.

I've been doing it for 17 years so I know the oiling method is fine. As for the stopping causing the bad threads that's far from the issue. I've dealt with enough machines to know that the problem was it being new, and the teeth weren't broke in yet. As for bad habits....I'm a construction worker lol of course I have bad habits lol

Any other apprentices in here, do NOT STOP THE MACHINE WHILE STILL TOUCHING THREADS. Pop the handle on the die back up so it's not threading THEN shut the machine off. Trust me, about 90 journeyman RIPPED ME A NEW ASSHOLE for doing it how I saw in this video. Learn from my mistake. This guy shows the wrong way.

I highly doubt "90 journeyman bout ripped you a new one". Everyone works differently. Whichever company, or union you're working with may just prefer you to operate it their way. Trust me when I say I've threaded more than my fair share over the years to know what I'm saying. But if you're company has a different preferred way then by all means make a video showing your way, and you're more than welcome to link it here.

I'm very much man enough to admit when I'm wrong. I've also been doing the same method for 20 years now in construction with zero problems. So from my end my method works perfectly. Again though if you feel it's not the correct method you're more than welcome to make a video showing the method you were taught, and can gladly link here to show others a different perspective. Thank ya.

Totally wrong. The fitting check is 3-1/2 turns. The Teflon tape goes on first, the Teflon paste on top of the tape. Note: Union shops never use tape. They use quality thread cutting dies, and get it right the first time. This video is for incompetent plumbers, who are like “ shade tree mechanics”. Embarrassing-

Don’t teach people how to use a pipe threader if you don’t know how to PROPERLY use it yourself :) there are many things wrong with this video I think you should go through an apprenticeship program and if you already have I think they should take that journeyman card away from ya
