Conduit threading machine

[EdwardCurrent]

Hello to All.
Whilst working for Clown House some 20 yrs ago I remember we used a threading machine on steel conduit. Since then I have not seen one, but as I am of slight build ( a skinny runt) and not as strong as I used to be, it would be nice to have one. Sometimes I work with tube for weeks on end, and although I get used to it, the tool would be quicker and easier .
These machines were 110v and the size of a grinder ???
Does anybody know who makes them etc please ?

Many thanks for any help.

Edward.

Seen sprinkler fitters use them, not sure if you can get electrical size dies to fit all of them though.

If you can find one Roto Stock is your friend.

Thanks TTC, a good chuckle to start my Friday.

Maybe I'll dig my Spenby out.

Nice kit but a tad more expensive than I thought they would be, the manual method for now methinks.

Make or have made some longer arms for your stock?

Use plastic and paint it silver or do domestic wiring instead

I do like your spelling! Now part of Laing O'Rourk I think. I assume Crown House?

I have worked where we had Plumbers and we got dies for their machine but after a few days of dragging the machine around we returned to manual method especially trying to load it in van every night.

I can't say they are that much faster either. Certainly not the ones I have used. They are also very heavy and cumbersome.

A site we worked on once had a huge machine which has hired - it sat on the floor and could not be moved without a pallet truck or fork lift. You had to place the tube on the stands, clamp it well, and then start the machine. It was very easy, but still took about a couple minutes to do a thread.

got one myself.. ( big job a few years ago, conduit day in and day out for about 3 months.. )

if I recall it cost me about £450 back then.. ( young and still living with mom and dad, I had to find something to spend my money on.. )

it's ok as long as you use a half decent conduit..
if you buy the cheapest nastiest stuff out, then it's too thin and it cuts the threads too deep... they can snap off when tightening the boxes on..

Mathew Halls gave you these for site work.
