Century Drill Tool 97621 Metric Hexagon Die 10.0x1.00

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97621 is a 10.0 x 1.00 metric hexagon die designed for hand cutting external threads on metric fasteners and rod stock. Precision-cut threads are accurately formed to produce consistent, exact threading results on each pass. The die is heat treated and tempered to achieve file-hard threads, extending service life under repeated use. At 0.12 pounds, this compact tool is suited for bench work and field applications where controlled, hand-driven threading is required. Trade professionals and skilled tradespeople use this die when fabricating or repairing threaded assemblies that call for M10 x 1.00 fine-pitch metric threads.

This die is intended for hand cutting applications using a standard die stock or tap-and-die handle. It is commonly used in mechanical, plumbing, and general trade work where metric fine-thread fasteners must be cut or chased on steel rod, bolts, or fittings. The 10.0 x 1.00 specification indicates a 10 millimeter nominal diameter with a 1.00 millimeter thread pitch, which is a fine-pitch metric standard. Two dies are included per package, providing a spare for the shop or job site inventory.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist, pipefitter, or experienced tradesperson should verify the correct die stock size before use to ensure a secure fit. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the threading operation and apply appropriate cutting oil to reduce friction and extend die life. Start the die squarely on the rod or fastener to avoid cross-threading. Follow applicable trade safety practices when working with cutting tools.
