I am making a 3/4 NPT pipe nipple out of a piece of 316 stainless pipe. I have a 3/4 pipe die but am afraid that stainless will be a little tough to cut. I do not have a taper attachment on my lathe, should I try to cut straight threads and then use the die to chase them to a taper or cut a smooth taper and thread with the die?
Thanks
