Irwin 9318 6-32 Nc Hex Machine Screw Die 1 Inch Carbon Steel

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 9318 is a 1-inch hexagonal machine screw die designed for cutting 6-32 National Coarse (NC) threads. Made from carbon steel, this die is built for hand threading work across a wide range of materials. It suits routine maintenance and repair tasks where precise high-accuracy tolerance threads are not required, such as rethreading damaged fasteners or chasing existing threads on machine screws. The hex body design allows it to be driven with a standard hex die stock, wrench, or socket, making it practical in tight or confined workspaces.

This die is intended for use in maintenance, repair, and light fabrication scenarios where 6-32 NC machine screw threads need to be cut or restored. It is well suited for electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance professionals who need a reliable hand threading tool for small-diameter fastener work. The package includes 3 dies per unit, making it a practical supply for shops or field service kits.

Key Features

• 6-32 National Coarse thread specification for standard machine screw applications
• 1-inch hexagonal body compatible with hex die stock, wrenches, and sockets
• Carbon steel construction for general-purpose hand threading durability
• Usable in confined spaces where a standard die stock cannot fit
• Suited for rethreading and repair work where tight tolerance is not critical
• Packaged in a quantity of 3 dies per unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard hexagon die stock. The hex body also accepts a wrench or socket drive for use in space-limited applications. Intended for hand threading work on 6-32 National Coarse machine screw threads in a variety of materials.

Installation Notes

This die is intended for hand threading use by trade professionals and experienced maintenance personnel. Before rethreading any fastener or tapped hole, ensure the workpiece is properly secured. Apply cutting oil or thread-cutting lubricant to extend die life and improve thread quality. Do not use this die in a power-driven threading machine, as it is rated for hand threading applications only.
