I have an old full set of Toledo pipe dies. These are the round, ratchet style with four replacable dies. The last project completed, we were tearing the threads of one out of three threaded ends of 1/2 inch pipe. The pipe was American pipe bought from the local plumber.
Having no more short sections to do with "mistakes", I took the pipe back to the plumber and had him cut the last four ends. He had no problems.
I have searched and cannot find replacement dies. Has anyone ever sharpened these individual dies? There are no chips, so both edges would probably just need to be touched.
Any suggestions?
