Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97619 is a 12.0 x 1.75 metric hexagon die designed for hand cutting external threads on metal rod, bolts, and fasteners. It features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed to deliver consistent, exact threading results on each pass. The die is heat treated and tempered to achieve file-hard thread faces, extending service life under repeated use. It is a standard hand-tool-trade item used by plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and general tradespeople who need to chase or cut metric threads in the field or shop.

This die is suited for hand-cutting applications where a metric M12 x 1.75 thread profile is required. The hexagon body form fits standard die stocks and die holders commonly found in trade toolkits. With a package quantity of two, it provides a spare for continuous workflow. Typical use cases include threading steel rod, repair of damaged bolt threads, and fabrication of custom-length threaded fasteners in residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by hand using a compatible die stock or die holder. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading to prevent movement. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction, extend die life, and produce cleaner thread cuts. Start the die squarely on the rod to avoid cross-threading.
