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 manufactured to ISO standards. It is ideal for controlled external threading applications where accuracy, clean cutting performance and correct tool selection are essential.

Product highlights

  • M28 x 3.0mm thread size: Designed for cutting or cleaning 28mm metric external threads with a 3.0mm pitch.
  • High-speed steel construction: HSS provides durability, wear resistance and dependable cutting performance.
  • Precision ground threads: Helps ensure accurate and clean thread formation on suitable materials.
  • Bright finish: Rust and tarnish resistant for greater durability and more accurate fitting.
  • 6 flutes: Flutes provide extra chip clearance for cleaner cutting action.
  • Industrial Blue classification: Built for demanding DIY, installer, workshop and light fabrication use.

Extra Information

  • This product is for external threading. For internal threading, use the correct matching tap.
  • Use with the recommended NR9030C round die holder for M26-M30 dies.
  • Use lightweight oil when cutting ferrous metals.
  • Use paraffin or beeswax when cutting aluminium.
  • Do not use oil when cutting cast iron.
  • Not suitable for stainless steel applications.
  • Requires controlled operation and correct tool selection to avoid failure.

Pro Tips

  • Always start the die square to the workpiece. A crooked start can damage the thread and cause poor fitting.
  • Chamfer the end of the workpiece slightly before threading to help the die start smoothly.
  • Use the correct lubricant for the material being cut to improve finish quality and extend tool life.
  • Use a forward-and-back cutting action: turn forward to cut, then reverse slightly to break the chip before continuing.
  • Do not force the die. If it becomes tight, reverse the tool, clear the chips, re-lubricate and continue carefully.
  • Clean and lightly oil the die after use to help protect the cutting edges during storage.

How to Use

  • Confirm that the required external thread is M28 x 3.0mm.
  • Check that the material is suitable for this die, such as mild steel, aluminium or brass.
  • Secure the workpiece firmly in a vice or suitable holding fixture.
  • Chamfer the starting end of the workpiece to help guide the die onto the material.
  • Fit the die into the correct round die holder, such as NR9030C, and secure it properly.
  • Apply the correct lubricant for the material being cut.
  • Position the die squarely on the workpiece and begin threading with steady pressure.
  • Turn forward to cut, then reverse slightly to break the chip. Repeat until the required thread length is reached.
  • Remove the die carefully, clean away swarf and test the thread fit with the correct nut or gauge.
