Why a M10 die? Do you not thread at all on your lathe?

Probably not in this case, but I will mention it anyways. Another pretty common problem is the wrong gas, welding suppliers have been known to occasionally mislabel a tank. 75/25 blend intended of MIG really raises hell if used on a TIG for some reason. Brian stated he was burning...
