  Hector HernandezJul 27, 2025
  If the pipe slips in the jaws of your RIDGID Power Tool, several factors could be at play. Ensure the pipe is properly centered in the jaw inserts, utilizing the rear centering device. Clean the jaw inserts with a wire brush to remove any debris. If the jaw inserts are worn out, consider replacing them. Also, make sure the chuck is tight on the pipe by using repeated and forceful spins of the hammer wheel to tighten the speed chuck.

  If there's no cutting oil flow in your RIDGID Power Tool, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if the oil reservoir is low and fill it if necessary. The cutting oil itself might be dirty or contaminated, in which case you should replace it with RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil. Also, inspect the oil screen for blockages and clean it if plugged. Ensure that the die head is in the threading (DOWN) position.

Why does my RIDGID Power Tool produce thin threads?
- D
  david64Aug 17, 2025
  Thin threads from your RIDGID Power Tool might be due to a few reasons. First, make sure the die head cover plate screws are tightened. Ensure the die head is properly set to give the correct thread size. Avoid forcing the carriage feed handle during threading; allow the carriage to self-feed once the dies have started the thread. The pipe wall thickness could also be a factor; use schedule 40 or heavier pipe. Also, ensure that dies inserted into head in proper position in die head.
