700PD Power Drive is a portable, electric, heavy-duty power drive that threads pipe and conduit up to 2in (50 mm) in diameter. 700PD is 1/2 horsepower, double insulated, turns at 28 RPM (no load) and uses a forward/reverse switch. The REVERSE button on the power drive is used to properly and quickly remove the threader drophead or die head from pipe that has just been threaded. There is no threading done while in the REVERSE position. 700PD uses Reed R12+ Segmental Dies and Dropheads or Ridgid 12R dies and dropheads. Also, the 700PD power drive can be used to power tapping and drilling machines by adding a Reed Power Drive Adapter. Free Safety Arm absorbs the forces generated when threading and frees up the operator to oil the dies during threading.
