Rigid Pipe Threader

[Nor'Easter]

Looking for insight/recommendations on Rigid pipe threader models and sizing. Application is 1/2" to 1-1/4" UNC threads up to 12" long on much longer stock (10'+).

No use for NPT/pipe thread cutting, if it makes any difference.

Look for decent used

A ridgid 300 would be a good fit, see theem under 2k sometimes with tooling. If you want to do by hand a 700 with the dies can be found a little cheaper. Cutting 12" of thread is much easier with a machine vs by hand & used 300s can be resold for what you paid for it.

I would look for a used 535, they are pretty indestructible. Tooling is expensive so look for one with at least two tool heads. The dies are different for 1/2" and 1 1/4".
