Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 96102 is a 6-32 national coarse hex threading die designed for cutting external threads on machine screws and rod stock by hand. The die features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed to produce consistent, exact threading results on every pass. Heat treated and tempered construction delivers file-hard thread faces and extends the working life of the die under repeated use. At 1 inch across the flats, it fits standard die stocks sized for that dimension. This is a trade and shop tool used by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and machinists who need to cut or restore 6-32 NC threads in the field or at the bench.

This hex die is suited for hand-cutting applications where a tap and die set or individual die stock is used to thread fastener stock, repair damaged threads, or cut new threads on small-diameter rod. The 6-32 national coarse thread form is a widely used size in electrical enclosure hardware, control panel fasteners, and light mechanical assemblies. The package includes 2 dies per unit, making it practical to keep a spare on hand for production or service work.

Installation Notes

A licensed trades professional or experienced technician should secure workpieces firmly in a vise before threading to maintain alignment and prevent injury. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction, improve thread quality, and extend die life. Back the die off periodically during cutting to clear chips. Follow applicable shop safety practices when using hand threading tools.
