Simon Hope Threading Jig

[Rick White]

Hello,

Can anybody comment on the Simon Hope Threading Jig? Likes and Dislikes? It looks pretty easy to use and can be ordered with a variety of TPI threads.

It is unavailable to purchase in the USA from the UK where it is made due to insurance issues. The only business I found that sells them to the USA is in Canada.

Thank you.

I have one and like it. Chose it because of the hinge feature so you can easily test the fit of the threads and also because of its massive construction

Rick - I have one that I bought from Simon at the annual symposium a few
years back. I have only used it four or five times but was very happy with the construction and results. Hope to get back to it some day.

Hi John,
I was thinking the same thing about the hinge. It seems to be easier to swing away to test fit the threads on a box between the top and bottom versus the Chefware jig.
Thanks for your reply.

Hi Jim,
I can't make it to the 2022 AAW symposium in Chattanooga this year. Since I will be on vacation near Indianapolis for a week next year which is about 90 miles away from Louisville, I will try to make the short drive there for the 2023 symposium then. Maybe Simon will have a booth there.
Thanks for your reply.
