Tork Craft HSS Round Die M26 x 3.0mm 1/Card

At a Glance: Industrial HSS metric round die for cutting or restoring M26 x 3.0mm external threads.

The Tork Craft NR3260C HSS Round Die is a precision thread cutting tool designed for creating or repairing external metric threads on rods, bolts, studs and suitable metal components. Manufactured from high-speed steel, this round die is built for clean cutting action, dependable wear resistance and accurate thread formation when used with the correct die stock and cutting lubricant. It is an ideal choice for workshops, maintenance teams, fabricators, machinists and serious DIY users who need to produce a strong, neat M26 thread with a 3.0mm pitch.

Industrial quality HSS metric round die for external threading

Part of the Tork Craft NR3 Series, this round die is classified as an Industrial Blue product and is made to an ISO manufacturing standard. It is suited to controlled hand threading applications where accuracy, tool life and a clean thread finish matter.

Product highlights

  • M26 x 3.0mm thread size: Designed for cutting or restoring 26mm metric external threads with a 3.0mm pitch.
  • High-speed steel construction: HSS provides improved cutting performance and longer service life compared to standard carbon steel threading tools.
  • Round die design: Suitable for use in an appropriately sized die stock or die holder for controlled, even thread cutting.
  • Industrial Blue classification: Built for demanding workshop, maintenance and engineering applications.
  • Carded pack: Supplied as one die per card for easy identification, storage and retail display.

Extra Information

  • This die is designed for external threading. For internal threading, use the correct matching tap.
  • Always confirm the required thread size and pitch before cutting. This product is for M26 x 3.0mm metric threads.
  • For best results, the workpiece should be securely clamped and the starting end should be slightly chamfered to help the die start squarely.
  • Use a suitable cutting oil or tapping compound to reduce friction, improve the thread finish and extend tool life.
  • Not recommended for hardened steel unless the material and cutting process are suitable for the die specification.

Pro Tips

  • Start the die perfectly square to the workpiece. A crooked start will quickly damage the thread and can spoil the job.
  • Use the classic forward-and-back cutting motion: turn forward to cut, then reverse slightly to break the chip before continuing.
  • Apply cutting fluid regularly, especially on larger thread sizes like M26 where cutting pressure is high.
  • Do not force the die. If it becomes tight, reverse it, clear the chips, add lubricant and continue gradually.
  • Clean and lightly oil the die after use to prevent corrosion and keep the cutting edges in good condition.

How to Use

  • Confirm that the workpiece diameter and thread requirement match M26 x 3.0mm.
  • Secure the workpiece firmly in a vice, keeping the section to be threaded straight and stable.
  • Chamfer the end of the workpiece slightly to help the die start cleanly.
  • Fit the die into the correct die stock or holder and tighten it securely.
  • Apply suitable cutting oil or threading compound to the workpiece and die.
  • Place the die squarely onto the workpiece and begin cutting with steady, even pressure.
  • Turn forward to cut, then reverse slightly to break chips. Repeat this process until the required thread length is achieved.
  • Remove the die carefully, clean away swarf and check the thread with the matching nut or gauge.

Features

  • HSS metric round die: Designed for precision external thread cutting in metric sizes.
  • M26 x 3.0mm thread profile: Cuts a 26mm metric thread with a 3.0mm pitch.
  • Industrial grade range: Classified as an Industrial Blue product for dependable workshop use.
  • ISO manufacturing standard: Produced according to ISO manufacturing requirements for consistent threading performance.
  • Single carded item: Supplied as one die, ready to be used with the correct die holder.

Benefits

  • Creates clean external threads: Ideal for producing threaded sections on round bar, studs, bolts and suitable metal workpieces.
  • Helps restore damaged threads: Useful for cleaning up worn, burred or lightly damaged M26 x 3.0mm external threads.
  • Longer tool life: High-speed steel offers good durability when used correctly with cutting fluid and proper technique.
  • Accurate workshop results: The round die format allows steady cutting control when mounted squarely in a matching die stock.

Application

  • Cutting external metric threads on suitable metal rods and studs.
  • Restoring or chasing existing M26 x 3.0mm external threads.
  • Workshop repairs, maintenance and fabrication tasks.
  • Engineering, mechanical and metalworking applications.
  • Use with an appropriate die stock, cutting compound and correctly prepared workpiece.

Safety

  • Wear eye protection when cutting threads to protect against sharp metal swarf.
  • Secure the workpiece properly before starting. A loose workpiece can cause poor threads, tool damage or injury.
  • Use cutting fluid to reduce heat, friction and the chance of the die binding.
  • Keep hands clear of sharp cutting edges and freshly cut threads.
  • Do not force the die. Excessive force can damage the die, break the workpiece or create unsafe working conditions.
  • Avoid wearing loose clothing or loose gloves near rotating machinery. This die is intended for controlled threading with a suitable holder.
  • Clean away swarf carefully with a brush. Do not wipe sharp chips away with bare hands.
