Century Drill Tool Co Inc 98213 Hex Threading Die 5/8x11 Nc

Product Description

The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 98213 is a 5/8 inch x 11 National Coarse (NC) fractional hex die used for cutting and restoring external threads by hand. The die measures 1-7/16 inches across the hex, is machined from carbon steel, and is sized to fit standard hexagon die stocks. It is also compact enough to turn with a wrench or socket in tight spaces. This die is suited for routine maintenance and repair rethreading where ultra-high tolerance thread accuracy is not a primary requirement. Machinists, plumbers, millwrights, and general maintenance technicians reach for this type of die when field rethreading a damaged fastener or rod is the fastest path to a functional repair.

The 98213 is designed for hand threading work across a variety of materials including mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar workpiece stock. Its hexagonal body seats securely in a standard hex die stock for controlled, two-handed operation, or it can be driven with a wrench or deep socket when clearance is limited. Typical applications include restoring thread on bolts, studs, and threaded rod during maintenance, fabrication, and repair tasks in industrial, mechanical, and general trade settings. Package quantity is 6 pieces per box, making this a practical shop or field restocking item.

Installation Notes

Hand threading dies are typically used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals performing field repairs. Secure the workpiece before threading and apply cutting oil to reduce friction and extend die life. Always inspect the die for wear or damage before use on critical repairs. This die is not recommended for applications requiring precision thread tolerances.
