He shows us how to replace the dies in the die head with the die head out of the machine and laying on a table. I have the older model 535 made around 1970. I don't think that my model 535 die head easily removes from the machine. Changing the dies is tricky with the die head installed on the machine. I may be wrong, buy I think that the new model 535 threaders allow the user to remove the die head easily from the machine. He should show that step. Great quality machine. I love my 535 Ridgid pipe threader, it is a wonderful machine.
this is a pretty good intro to get an idea about using a threading machine I am an apprentice and been working here for about 2 weeks I have started off using the machine cutting and threading the pipe for the installers the cutting and threading of the pipe is pretty easy but when it comes to the hemping that's the hard part hemping is a bit more complicated.
Didnt mention how to prime or check your threads or the other 50 % of functions this machine does to make the job easy.this guy should stay at his desk leave the fabricating to us
