Eagle Cutting Tool MHD-180-250-I Metric Hex Die M18.0x2.50

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MHD-180-250-I is a carbon steel metric hex die designed for cutting external M18.0 x 2.50 threads. The hexagonal body allows standard open-end or adjustable wrenches to drive the die without requiring a dedicated die stock handle, making it a practical choice for field work and shop use alike. Weighing 0.48 pounds, the die is compact and easy to store in a tool roll or threading kit. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this type of die to chase damaged threads or cut new threads on metric fasteners and rod stock.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials in residential and light commercial maintenance, fabrication shops, and industrial service environments. The M18.0 x 2.50 designation follows the ISO metric coarse thread standard, making it a common size for structural fasteners, machinery bolts, and threaded rod applications. It is an import-grade tool appropriate for moderate-duty threading tasks where production-grade tooling is not required.

Key Features

• M18.0 x 2.50 ISO metric coarse thread profile for standard metric fastener sizing
• Hexagonal body drives with open-end or adjustable wrenches — no die stock required
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for threading mild steel and non-ferrous metals
• Compact at 0.48 pounds, suitable for portable tool kits and field service
• Import-grade pricing for moderate-duty and occasional-use applications

Compatibility

Designed for cutting and chasing external M18.0 x 2.50 metric coarse threads on rod stock, bolts, and threaded fasteners in standard metric threading applications.

Installation Notes

Threading operations should be performed by a qualified machinist or maintenance technician familiar with hand threading tools. Apply cutting oil liberally to the workpiece before and during threading to extend die life and produce clean thread form. Advance the die in short increments and back off periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before starting the cut.
