Gaz Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Plenty of charts out there to tell ya what size hole to drill prior to tapping a particular thread but does anyone have a link to one which tells you what size die to use for x size pipe/rod. 15.5mm rod in this case.

downtrail Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 If you want say an m8 thread on a piece of rod then you start with 8mm rod etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I do this on a regular basis so shouldn't be as confused as I am. Use a 39/64ths die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0fnsiv Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Use a 16 x 2 die nut, it won't be full formed but it will have enough to crank a nut up tight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
