This hex die is used to create or repair an external 20 x 1.5mm thread. The hex profile allows practical holding in a suitable die holder or compatible tool setup, giving controlled thread cutting for workshop and maintenance applications.

Product highlights

  • 20 x 1.5mm metric thread Suitable for creating or repairing external metric threads.
  • HSS construction High speed steel die for general workshop threading applications.
  • Hex die design Practical shape for controlled thread cutting and thread repair work.
  • External threading tool Ideal for rods, bolts, studs and compatible round workpieces.

Extra Information

  • This die is used for external thread cutting, while taps are used for internal threads.
  • Use a suitable die holder or compatible tool setup to keep the die straight and controlled.
  • Apply appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant when cutting threads in metal.

Pro Tips

  • Chamfer the end of the rod or workpiece slightly before starting the die to help the thread start cleanly.
  • Keep the die square when starting. A crooked start will usually ruin the thread before the job has properly begun.
  • Turn forward gradually, then reverse slightly to break chips and keep the cut cleaner.
  • Use cutting fluid on metal to reduce friction, improve thread finish and help extend die life.

How to Use

  • Confirm that the workpiece is the correct diameter and suitable for a 20 x 1.5mm external thread.
  • Secure the rod, stud or workpiece firmly in a vice or suitable holding fixture.
  • Lightly chamfer the end of the workpiece to help the die start smoothly.
  • Fit the die into a suitable die holder or compatible tool setup.
