Troubleshooting a Pipe Threading Machine

It can be difficult to create agood threadif you’re unsure how to work the machine or if something suddenly goes wrong. Knowing somebasic troubleshooting tipscan help you avoid making bad threads, as well as save you time, money, and effort in the long run.

Electrical– The majority of electrical-based problems on a pipe threading machine is due to aloss of threading power. While irksome, this is usually easy to fix. Powerful machines such as pipe threading machines are most susceptible to power losses when anextension cordis being used. While using an extension cord is sometimes necessary, avoid power surges by ensuring the cord is at least12 gauge wire if 1-10 feet and 10 gauge wire if the cord is 10+ feet. Another common electrical problem has to do withhow much current is being used. This is especially problematic on machines that run on120 volts. When cutting thread, your machine’s current level will rise. While this isn’t a problem if your machine is alone on the circuit, if you haveother machines on the same circuit you risk the chance of overloading the machine and even personal injury.
Debris– Many common problems are caused bydirt and grit getting in between metal surfaces. While this may not seem like much of a problem, operating your machine dirty will causerapid wear of the steel, causing smooth working surfaces to bind up and resulting inpoor threads and eventual machine failure. Care should be taken to ensure your machine is clean, and one way to do this is to clean the material before it enters the threader.
Lubricants– To ensure your machine performs the best it can, have a can of lubricating oil nearby when working. Anoccasional drop of oil on the wayscan make all the difference and provide trouble-free operation for years to come.
Carriage– Your threader will have two carriages, one below the die head and the other used to carry the material. On a normal machine, these carriages will begin to wear down, and the more wear they accumulate, the more likely you’ll begin to experience alignment difficulties. To counteract this problem, some carriages with flat ways come with adjustable gibs that can be tightened as needed to accommodate the extra wear.
