    Toledo die heads

    Charlie, I have the same threader, don`t enjoy using-it but does come-in handy!

    I looked on eBay and some guys do have the dies for sale,, not very cheap, but they are around.

    Check-it out,,,,, :-)

    A lot better than armstrong dies

    Several years ago we had an over zealous clean out of the shop and out went the dies. I am glad the head and the collars were saved. it was a full year before I realized they had been thrown in the scrap pile. I wonder why that guy was fired? Any way I am tired of welding the larger pipe and I was looking for a good source for the dies. I should probably just go get a rigid but I am kind of attached to the old toledo head. I have a post card from the building of the Empire State building and they are using the same head in the photo. I like the idea a "Dead Man" or two used the same dies
