Versatile metalworking tool: Perfect for shop repairs, fabricating new hardware, or restoring damaged threads on steel, iron, and other compatible metals where metric fasteners are standard.
How to use: Secure the die in a suitable die stock or handle, apply a light coat of cutting oil or threading lubricant, and start the cut squarely to avoid cross-threading. Turn steadily clockwise, maintaining even pressure and alignment. After cutting, deburr and clean the workpiece for smooth operation of the newly formed threads. When finished, remove chips and store in a dry place to preserve edge life.
