Reed Manufacturing

All REED cutter wheels are made from high shock-resistant tool steel, while competitive cutter wheels are made from carbon steel or still lower quality tool steel. By using this higher quality raw material, REED cutter wheels can be made thinner and can therefore cut pipe more easily and leave less burr. Also, because of their higher quality, certified material, only REED cutter wheels can be heat-treated for the perfect balance between hardness and toughness to make REED cutter wheels resist breakage and last longer.

For the Enclosed Ratchet Threader Sets, the dies and dropheads are manufactured on CNC machines for cutting precision during the threading process. Sets contain enclosed dropheads and a ratchet handle in a compact, reinforced plastic carrying case. The dropheads are the lightest available, size for size. The enclosed dropheads in these sets can be used manually or with the REED 601PD Power Drive. To replace a drophead, refer to REED Enclosed Dropheads. Dropheads for pipe sizes up through 1-1/4" are interchangeable with RIDGID® 11-R and R200, Super-Ego® 600, Virax® 1362, Rothenberger™ Super Cut hand ratchet threaders and Supertronic portable power threaders.

R811 Universal Die Head uses universal dies from REED, Ridgid®, Wheeler-Rex®, Berkley and some private brands. R811 fits REED's 5301PD Power Drive and RIDGID® machine models 300, 535 and 1822. The R811 universal die head offers easy-to-adjust size selection with manual open/close operation, along with die lubrication slots. R811 does not include universal dies, order them separately. The R811 die head holds any NPT, NPSM, BSPT, or Bevel-type REED Universal Dies. Geared Threading Dies: The R65 die is made for easier work with larger pipe and in remote locations. It fits Ridgid® brand 65 geared heads. Like other REED chasers, the R65 is backed by REED's 120+ years of die-making experience, and is made in the USA.

Reed 05638 Ratchet Ring and Handle, For Use With R12+ Threader

Reed used its 100+ years of die-making experience to select the best materials, methods and CNC production for its universal dies. These dies fit Reed's 5301PD power drive, Ridgid® 300, 300 compact, 535, 535 automatic, 1215, 1822-I, 1224 plus the reed R811 universal die head. Bevel dies add a chamfer to the outside edge of steel/stainless steel pipe for welding purposes. A bevel die set comes with 1 cutting segment and 3 guide segments. Reed offers alloy, high speed steel (HSS) and HSS for stainless steel universal dies in NPT or BSPT geometries. All three provide excellent threads. Alloy dies are the most economical. HSS dies last longer than alloy dies because HSS universal dies withstand high temperature without losing hardness. This feature allows them to cut faster than the alloy at room temperature. HSS for stainless steel dies are designed specially for stainless steel pipe. Use with reed Thread guard cutting oil for better and faster threads and longer die life.
