Atap the die with a hammer to break up the chips
Bcontinue turning until the end of the pipe has gone through the die and is flush with the die face
Cnever use a lubricant
Dstart the die at a slight angle with the work to create tapered threads
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) continue turning until the end of the pipe has gone through the die and is flush with the die face. When cutting external threads on a steel pipe with a die, you should continue turning the die until the end of the pipe has gone completely through the die and is flush with the die face. This ensures that the threads are cut evenly and consistently along the entire length of the pipe. The other options are incorrect because: A) tapping the die with a hammer can damage the die and create uneven threads, C) using a lubricant is recommended to improve the quality of the threads and extend the life of the die, and D) starting the die at an angle will create tapered, uneven threads.
