Eagle Cutting Tool MHD-120-125-I Metric Hex Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MHD-120-125-I is a carbon steel metric hex die designed to cut external M12.0x1.25 threads on bolts, studs, and round stock. The hex body profile allows standard wrench engagement for controlled torque during thread cutting. At 0.48 pounds, it is compact enough for bench work or field use. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this die when restoring damaged threads or creating new threads on metric fasteners with a 1.25 mm pitch.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, and similar metals in light manufacturing, maintenance, and repair applications. The M12.0x1.25 specification is a fine-pitch metric thread commonly found in automotive and industrial fastener applications. It is used with a standard hex die stock or wrench sized for the hex body. Both shop and field installations are appropriate given its compact form and weight of 0.48 pounds.
