I don't know how much experience you have working with dies, but I have found that you always want to use a cutting / tapping fluid with them to lubricate the cut. That 2" die has a lot of flutes, so it may be less of an issue, but with a lot of smaller taps and dies I find they have a tendency to bind if I don't peck it by e.g. repeatedly advancing 1 turn, then backing off 1/2 turn etc. to facilitate clearing the chips.<br clear="none"><br clear="none">Sean<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">-------- Original Message --------<br clear="none">On Jun. 7, 2021, 01:45, James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles < <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<blockquote><br clear="none">Hi all,<div>If anyone is interested, I managed to re thread the 2” flood valve.
