Thanks for posting. I ran across this as I was looking to repair/rebuild one of these die holders. I received a universal when I purchased a used Ridgid 535. It was frozen and the surface where you would read the position looked like someone took a grinder to it. I took it all apart, and your video was helpful as many of the parts were corroded together. I cleaned it all up and honed the mating surfaces and replaced the bolt dies that were in it with 1/2 - 3/4 dies and put it back together. lined up the die sizes on finished fittings and marked the locations. Slides well now and operates as it should.

I'm confused. The Ridgid 1210 was a very specialized threading machine unlike any other Ridgid threading machine. The 1210 was so unique it was fitted with a gold-colored die head, #610, which was the only die head designed to be used with this specialized threader. The 1210 did not use threading oil and instead used a specialized non-toxic evaporating coolant. Unlike normal threading machines which pump oil over the threads and then returns the oil to be pumped again, the 1210's coolant evaporated and did not get reused. The 1210 has no return connection from the chip pan to the pump because the coolant gets completely evaporates during threading. The 1210 also has special gold-colored "oil-less" dies designed to be used only with this 1210 model of threader. The 1210 was designed by Ridgid to be used in specialized settings where there is a priority on cleanliness. Basically, this threader was designed to be used in white glove settings. This machine makes exceptionally precise and clean threads without the oil and mess associated with regular threaders. This machine was designed to be used in non-high-volume settings - such as research labs, R&D facilities, classrooms, or to be used by contractors doing work on high-end projects where cleanliness is demanded. The 1210 threader was discontinued. The most likely reason for it being discontinued is because Ridgid failed to properly market this machine to its intended users and failed to inform users in the proper care for this machine. It is important knowing that the special evaporating coolant breakdowns oil and grease ... leading to rust. So instead of being marketed and sold to the intended users, this threading machine was mostly bought and used in place of a typical threader by most users. And most users were not aware to properly lubricate this machine. Because after all, how many people would think a threading machine needs being lubricated, wiped down, and sprayed with oil at the end of the day. Anyone owning a well-cared for Ridgid 1210 is lucky to own such a unique machine.
