Fellas, I purchased a long 72" aluminum lance from Bob and I know the threads on pw items is National Pipe Threading but what kind of dies have you used? I need to thread a lance w/ 1/4" threads. I asked a friend who is a mechanic and he did not have the correct die. NPT tap/die sets are not cheap… Any input is appreciated.
