    Are you sure the tap and die are both the same size and thread
    count????  As far as I know, a 2-56 will not thread (maybe cross
    thread!!!!!!!!) into a 1-72 threaded hole.  Are you using the correct
    size drill to make the hole to be tapped?  Does it tap well?  Is the
    rod being threaded the correct diameter?  If all of this is checked
    and correct, something might be amiss with either the tap or die.  A
    1-72 should fit a 1-72 period.  You would be wasting your $$ to get a
    2-56 tap.  I just keep going back to the 1-72 tap or die is wrong. 

Good luck.
