Not sure how many people have tried this...but anyway....a plumbing project I was working on called for just an inch or so of threaded pipe so I figured I'd cut it off the end of a scrap piece of pipe I had lying around after cutting off the amount of thread pipe I needed I cleaned it up filed it got all the burrs off and then tried threading it on to a fitting and it just won't thread on...I noticed some errors I made and tried again and after three times of cleaning and filing burrs it still would not thread into a fitting...I know they make 1inch threaded pipe but I figured what the hell I'll just make my own and this project isn't when finished anything to worry about like leaks of any kind or end up hazardous if something went wrong.....why wont threaded pipe rethread after cutting?..note: i do know some threaded pipe is flared or tapered at the end and chose a piece of threaded pipe that wasn't ....if anyone thinks they are wasting there time with me then by all means DON'T....3 attempts I've made with no luck anybody try doing this?...or know the answer as to why cut threaded pipe won't rethread?
