Eagle Cutting Tool MHD-030-050-I Metric Hex Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MHD-030-050-I is a carbon steel metric hex die sized for M3.00 threads with a 0.50 mm pitch. Hex dies are held in a die stock handle and turned by hand to cut external threads onto rod, bolt blanks, or cylindrical stock. This import-grade die suits maintenance, repair, and fabrication work where standard metric threads must be cut or restored. The hex body style allows a standard wrench to back off the die when needed. Machinists, maintenance techs, and trade professionals working with M3 fasteners will find this a practical addition to their threading kit.

This die is designed for cutting M3.00x0.50 external metric threads on metal stock. It fits common hex die stock handles sized for this die body. Typical applications include threading small-diameter rod and restoring damaged threads on machine screws, bolts, and fittings in light manufacturing, HVAC equipment assembly, electrical panel work, and general mechanical maintenance.

Key Features

• M3.00x0.50 thread form for standard metric fastener sizing
• Hex body design compatible with standard die stock wrenches
• Carbon steel construction for cutting threads on mild steel and similar materials
• Import-grade pricing suits high-volume shop use and tool crib stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard hex die stock handles sized to accept an M3.00x0.50 hex die body. Suitable for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before threading. Apply cutting oil to the die and stock before beginning to reduce friction and improve thread quality. Turn the die stock steadily and back off a quarter turn periodically to break chips. Inspect the finished thread with a metric M3.00x0.50 gauge or mating fastener before assembly.
