Changing 4\" -> 3\" dies on manual Toledo Pipe Threader?

headerless

I have a small amount of pipe threading to do on 3" pipe. I inherited a big 50lb Toledo geared manual pipe threader that looks like it was used by dead men. It came with 3" die cutters but I have no idea how to pull the five 4" die cutters and install the five 3" die cutters.

Has anyone used one of these?

Toledo die changes

My Dad had one, and if I remember right, there was a circular plate on the front that was held on with screws that had to be removed first then the die cutters were lifted out and the new ones put in the same numbered recess. ie: 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 etc.... very important.

If it's the one I'm thinking of they are held in by a spring clip. Just lift the clip and you can pull the dies out. Yes they have to beinstalled in the correct order. Toledo model #2

Each cutter has a tiny screw holding one side of a plate (that may be flexible). I'll take a picture

Thanks EBEBRATT


You were right. I feel dumb as I was about to undo the tiny screws. Appreciate the help!
