Irwin IR6954 Hex Die 16mm X 1mm 1-7/16 Inch Hcs

Product Description

The IRWIN IR6954 is a hex die used for cutting external threads on fasteners, studs, and round stock. It measures 16mm x 1mm, indicating a 16mm nominal thread diameter with a 1mm thread pitch. The die body is 1-7/16 inches in width, sized to fit a standard external die stock. Constructed from hardened high-carbon steel (HCS), the IR6954 delivers consistent thread-forming performance under the repetitive stress of threading operations. Licensed tradespeople and machinists use this die as a primary threading tool or to recut and restore damaged threads on existing hardware.

This die is suited for automotive repair and general machinery maintenance applications. It performs in situations where a technician needs to cut new threads or chase worn threads on bolts, rods, or shafts with a 16mm x 1mm metric thread profile. The 1-7/16 inch hex body seats securely in a matching external die stock, enabling controlled, repeatable thread cutting. Both shop professionals and field technicians working on metric-threaded components will find this a straightforward match for production and repair work alike.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by machinists or qualified tradespeople using a matching external die stock.
