Irwin 9324 8-32 Nc Hex Machine Screw Die 1 Inch Carbon Steel

Product Description

The IRWIN INDUSTRIAL TOOL CO 9324 is a 1-inch hexagonal machine screw die designed for cutting 8-32 National Coarse (NC) threads. Constructed from carbon steel, this die is built for hand threading work across a variety of materials. It is suited for routine maintenance and repair applications where high-accuracy thread tolerance is not the primary requirement. Rethreading damaged or corroded fasteners is a common use case. The hex body allows the die to be driven with a standard wrench or socket, making it practical when working in confined or space-limited areas.

This die is intended for hand threading operations in maintenance, repair, and light fabrication environments. It is compatible with standard hexagon die stocks for open-area work and can also be driven directly with a wrench or socket where clearance is restricted. Typical applications include rethreading machine screw holes, bolt shanks, and threaded rod in field repair, shop maintenance, and assembly work. The 8-32 NC thread form is widely used in light-duty machine fastening across industrial, electrical, and mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• 8-32 National Coarse (NC) thread specification for light-duty machine screw applications
• 1-inch hexagonal body allows use with standard die stock, wrench, or socket
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for hand threading in a range of materials
• Suitable for rethreading and repair work where tight tolerance is not critical
• Compact hex profile makes it usable in space-limited installations
• Package quantity of 3 dies per unit

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard hexagon die stocks. The 1-inch hex body is also compatible with wrenches and sockets of matching size when die stock use is not practical.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of threading dies should be performed by qualified mechanics, machinists, or maintenance technicians familiar with hand threading tools. Ensure the workpiece is secured before applying the die. Use appropriate cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend die life when threading metal. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use, and do not exceed the die's rated thread form or apply power-driven torque to a hand-threading die.
