quattro digest, Vol 1 #3630 - 14 msgs

[John Larson]

You read the part about "not for hardened threads"?  Those threads are about
as hardened as you can get.  In general, though, these rethreading dies are
the right tool.  They don't really remove metal like a real die, and the
threads therefore are stronger and have more "bite" than ones restored by a
die.  John
