Mr Sworld is correct that you must use electricians stocks &amp; dies, not engineers. In case you might not know, the first job to do once you have your stocks and dies is to cut 2 pieces of 20mm steel conduit , about 300mm long. Hammer one end slightly flat and knock over the stocks handles. This extra length reduces the effort needed to thread by 75%</p></blockquote><p></p>
