Century Drill Tool Co Inc 97616 Metric Hexagon Die

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97616 is an 11.0x1.50 metric hexagon die designed for hand cutting external threads on metal rod, bolt stock, and fasteners. Precision-cut threads are accurately formed to deliver consistent, exact threading results on every pass. The die is heat treated and tempered to file-hard hardness, extending service life and maintaining thread accuracy over repeated use. Sold as a package of two, it suits trade professionals and skilled tradespeople who require reliable threading performance in the field or shop.

This metric hexagon die is suited for hand threading applications in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general mechanical trade work. It is used with a standard die stock handle to cut 11.0 mm diameter threads at a 1.50 mm pitch on steel, iron, and compatible metals. The hexagon profile allows repositioning with a wrench when access is restricted, making it practical for tight-clearance work on existing assemblies or new fabrication.

Installation Notes

A licensed mechanic, pipefitter, or experienced tradesperson should select the correct die stock to match the hexagon die size before use. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise and apply cutting oil to the die and stock to reduce friction and heat during threading. Always start the die square to the workpiece to avoid cross-threading. Inspect threads after cutting to confirm fit before final assembly.
