Thank you, sir! Awesome video. I have been working as a commercial electrician for a couple years and am trying to get into the industrial side of things; rigid is always mentioned in the job descriptions, so I gotta learn fast! Appreciate it

Your videos are concise and applicable. Thanks Craig.

Appreciate the video. Its been years since I did any pipe threading and this made it all come back to me.

Apprentice in training here, awesome walkthrough and very well explained, you now have a new subscriber!

So glad my dad has a rigid 300 I can borrow, but the trips up the basement stairs are a PITA alone. Ive been meaning to weigh that machine, threaders n all

Great video very informative

Good video brother keep pushn

Nice

I have a couple of weeks under my belt of bending and threading rigid steel conduit. It definitely is a feather on your cap. I am one of two apprentices that know how to do it on a site with 30 apprentices. Even the jmen ask me for help. Makes me want to keep learning the unique skillsets.

Do you reuse that cutting oil that drips out?

Nice job on the video.

Nice video on how to thread a rigid steel pipe by hand that's it though

I’m curious about pipe threading, I’m a plumbers son and now a 41yr old heavy duty diesel mechanic. My father was a plumber for 48yrs, retired in 2010, sadly he passed away in Nov of 2021 of a heart attack after my mother who also died in Jan of 2021 of covid pneumonia. I’m an only child so I now own their property, vehicles, as well as all my pops old plumbing tools from the family business A-1 Plumbing & Heating in New Orleans, Louisiana. Granted, there’s some rust on the tools from sitting in the garage but, I’m sure their worth cleaning up to do DIY stuff like plumbing or electrical work at the old house. My pop had 2 manual pipe threader ratchets with the stands & multiple dies, also he had one electric pipe threader with a newer stand & slightly newer dies. I think the dies were interchangeable though I might be mistaken and all of the tools were Rigid, Mikita, Craftsman and Milwaukee. The threading tools being primarily Rigid I think! I was wondering if you had any recommendations on restoring the threading tools, stands and the manual & electric ratchets. These tools were used from the 80’s to about 2002 I know for a fact as I was made to help my pop as a gofer when I was a kid. As of 2002 they worked at least until my pop went into the union and worked as a master plumber for Harrah’s Casino in New Orleans where he only did some work for friends and family outside of his day job.

Can I use my gas pipe threading die for threading electrical conduit? Or do you have a special thread cutting die? I have the same rigid set up you have, but all for threading gas pipe. Thank you!

I went to Home Depot today and they sell 10 foot conduit but don’t cut or thread it. I don’t want to buy the machine because I only need to run the meter wire inside about 3 feet to the main panel. Right on the other side of the wall. Any suggestions?

I would totally get one of these to run conduit in my garage if the tools weren't so damn expensive

Could you put a bucket under that oil drip and reuse it?

i weigh 160 pounds and used a pony on my first job, i got picked up off the ground and smashed my balls. Everybody in Local 68 thought that was hilarious

I don’t like to wear gloves also because I like to feel what I’m doing

You don’t make money like that!
