Eagle Cutting Tool MHD-400-200-I M40x2.0 Metric Hex Die

Product Description

The EAGLE CUTTING TOOL MHD-400-200-I is a metric carbon hex die designed to cut external threads on round stock. Sized for M40x2.0 thread profiles, this hex die fits standard hex die stocks and is used to cut or recut 40mm diameter threads with a 2.0mm pitch. The carbon steel construction provides the hardness needed to thread mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. Plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics reach for this die when threading metric fasteners or rod on the job or at the bench.

This die is suited for manual threading operations in industrial maintenance, mechanical contracting, and fabrication shops. The M40x2.0 designation follows ISO metric thread standards, making it the correct choice when metric-spec assemblies require field-cut or shop-cut external threads. The hex body design allows it to be driven with a standard hex die stock wrench for controlled, repeatable cuts.

Key Features

• M40x2.0 thread profile for ISO metric external threading
• Hex body fits standard hex die stocks for easy handling and torque control
• Carbon steel construction provides cutting hardness for mild metals and alloys
• Suitable for cutting new threads or chasing damaged existing threads
• Compact and fieldwork-ready at 2.18 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or additional die for standard hex die stocks accepting M40x2.0 metric dies. Confirm die stock opening size before use.

Installation Notes

Thread cutting should be performed by a qualified mechanic, pipefitter, or machinist familiar with hand threading tools. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading and apply cutting oil throughout the operation to extend die life and improve thread quality. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use. Do not force a worn or damaged die, as this can result in poor thread form or workpiece damage.
