HOW TO USE:

1. Insert the Die: Place a 1-inch adjustable round die into the handle. Ensure it sits securely within the guides of the die stock.
2. Adjust the Guide: Use the adjustable guide to tighten the die into place. The guide helps center the die and provides a snug fit.
3. Prepare the Workpiece: Before you begin, chamfer the end of the rod or bolt you intend to thread. This helps the die start more easily and reduces the chance of chipping.
4. Start Threading: Place the die handle squarely onto the end of the workpiece. Apply downward pressure and turn the handle clockwise slowly.
5. Reverse and Clear: After making a couple of turns, turn the handle a quarter turn counter-clockwise to break the chip. This clears the material and prevents clogging. Continue this process, turning clockwise and then reversing to clear, until the desired thread length is achieved.
6. Clean Up: Once threading is complete, remove the die stock and clean any remaining metal shavings from the newly created threads.
