Eagle Cutting Tool MHD-020-040-I M2x0.40 Hss Metric Hex Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MHD-020-040-I is a high-speed steel (HSS) metric hex threading die designed to cut external M2x0.40 threads. Built from carbon HSS material, this hex-style die seats securely in a standard hex die stock handle, allowing controlled thread-cutting on small-diameter fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod stock. The hex body resists slipping during torque application, making it a practical choice for precision thread forming in metal fabrication, maintenance, and repair work. Weighing 0.48 pounds, it is a compact single-die tool suited for bench work and field service where M2-sized threading is required.

This die is intended for cutting M2x0.40 metric external threads on steel, brass, aluminum, and similar machinable metals. It is commonly used in light manufacturing, equipment repair, and machining applications where small metric fastener threads must be cut or restored. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance technicians, and experienced trade professionals working with metric hardware will find this die appropriate for bench vise or hand-held die stock operations.

Key Features

• M2x0.40 metric thread specification for cutting small-diameter external threads
• High-speed steel (HSS) construction for durability across a range of machinable metals
• Hex body profile seats in standard hex die stock handles for positive drive
• Compact and lightweight at 0.48 pounds, suitable for bench and field use
• Minimum order quantity of 1, available as a single-unit purchase

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threading die for use with standard hex die stock handles sized to accept the hex body profile of this die. Cuts M2x0.40 metric external threads on compatible machinable metal stock.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly in a bench vise before beginning thread-cutting operations. Insert the die into a properly sized hex die stock handle and apply cutting oil to the workpiece to reduce heat and extend die life. Advance the die in short increments, backing off periodically to clear chips and prevent binding. This tool should be operated by qualified machinists or trade professionals familiar with proper hand-threading techniques.
