Eagle Cutting Tool MHD-160-150-I Metric Hex Die M16 X 1.50

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MHD-160-150-I is a carbon steel metric hex die designed to cut M16.0 x 1.50 external threads on rod, bolt blanks, and cylindrical stock. The hex body profile allows standard die stock wrenches to drive the die with consistent torque and control. Weighing 0.48 pounds, this is a compact, single-purpose threading tool suited for job-site and shop use. It is used by plumbers, pipefitters, machinists, and general maintenance tradespeople who need to chase or cut metric fine-pitch external threads without power equipment.

This die is intended for use wherever M16.0 x 1.50 metric fine threads are specified. Typical applications include fabricating threaded fasteners, repairing damaged threads on metric hardware, and preparing threaded ends on mild steel or similar low-alloy materials. The 1.50 mm pitch is a fine-thread designation, common in automotive, equipment assembly, and mechanical maintenance work. It fits standard hex die stocks sized for this body diameter.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use metric hex die for any die stock wrench accommodating the corresponding hex body size for M16.0 x 1.50 threading applications.

Installation Notes

Threading dies are typically used by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians. Before threading, secure the workpiece firmly in a vise and apply cutting oil to both the die and the stock to reduce friction and extend tool life. Turn the die forward one half-turn then back one quarter-turn to clear chips and prevent binding. Do not use this die on hardened steel or stainless without verifying material compatibility with the carbon steel construction.
