DIE HSS HEX 18MM 1/CASE
Features
- 18 mm nominal size hex die for cutting threads on hexagonal material.
- Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for excellent wear resistance and clean threads.
- Supplied in a case for safe storage and protection when not in use.
Benefits
- Precision threading: The HSS construction maintains sharp cutting edges for clean, accurate threads.
- Long life: Durable material stands up to repeated use in metal-working environments.
- Professional finish: Helps produce consistent and reliable thread quality on maintenance or fabrication tasks.
Extra Information
- Ideal for use on an 18 mm hex rod or bolt when creating or repairing external threads.
- Ensure the workpiece is rigidly supported before threading to avoid chatter or misalignment.
- Use appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant for best results when working with steel or alloy materials.
Pro Tip
- After threading, back off the die slightly and clean out chips regularly to maintain thread quality.
- For harder material, use slower speed and consistent feed to extend tool life.
