What Did You Buy Today?

As a plumber, I cut 11 threads on pipe smaller than 2" and 9 threads on pipe 2" and larger. NPT threads that is.

That is good information.!!

That will take care of the depth problem.

I can do that.

Is this a typo? I’ve cut many many pipe threads in an oilfield machine shop but never this pitch. We did 11 1/2 and 8 pitch.

Don't know what NOS stands for, but that is a set from P&N Australia you can see each tap and die has it stamped on them. P&N has been synonymous for quality in Australia, for about 100 years. You may also come across Sutton branded tools, they are a partner brand and equally high quality, I hope you enjoy them.

NOS means New Old Stock.
It’s a brand new set, never been used.
It came packed with an Australian newspaper from 1972.
I love old tools so they totally fill my tool nerd needs

Actually, I think it is not the pitch he's talking about, just a fast rule about how deep to cut the threads.

Old tools are made better.

My 1965 Unisaw, 1950 Beaver bandsaw and 1975 SB lathe and 1980 mill certainly agree with you

Ah, yes....I see what he’s referring to now. If I pay enough attention, I’ll learn something everyday. Thanks for the heads up...

I don't know. I just use whatever RIdgid provides me, I cut

Correct, I turn on my awesome Ridgid 300 and thread until I get 9 or 11 threads. No idea on the thread pitch.
