General question about threading die’s.

Threading die's always had a taper on one side, the side marked with the size and logo, the over side did not have a taper, so you could thread up to a shoulder.

Today whilst trying to thread 5ba using a die supplied by a reputable dealer i could not get anywhere near the shoulder.

Is this something common to the Chinese supplied die's, does anyone know if the likes of dormer, presto are the same?

Thanks all.

Please forgive a naive question but did the die stock stop you getting close to the shoulder.

All my die stocks have a flange that stops the die falling through before the grub screws are tightened. That’s three or four millimetres thick.

I turn the die over
