Century Drill Tool Co Inc 97609 Metric Hexagon Die 7.0x1.00

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97609 is a 7.0x1.00 metric hexagon die designed for hand cutting external threads on metal stock. The die features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed to deliver consistent, exact thread profiles on each pass. Heat treatment and tempering bring the cutting surfaces to file hardness, extending service life under repeated use. Sold as a package of two dies, this tool is a practical addition to any plumber, pipefitter, HVAC tech, or maintenance professional who regularly cuts metric threads in the field or shop.

This die is intended for hand threading applications where a tap-and-die set or individual die stock handle is used to chase or cut 7.0 mm diameter external threads at a 1.00 mm pitch. It is well-suited for residential and light commercial maintenance work, fabrication of threaded fasteners or fittings, and repair tasks requiring metric thread cutting by hand. The hexagon body seats securely in a standard die stock, allowing controlled torque during threading.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by a mechanic, pipefitter, or maintenance technician using a compatible die stock handle. Secure the die firmly in the stock before beginning thread cutting. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece to reduce friction, improve thread quality, and extend die life. Work in controlled, even rotations, backing off periodically to clear chips and prevent binding.
