How it helps you work smarter
Use this Milwaukee hex die with a compatible die stock to cut clean, straight threads on rods or bolts. The process is straightforward and requires steady hands and proper lubrication to maximize tool life and thread accuracy.
- Secure the die in a standard die stock and align it with the workpiece to ensure true, perpendicular threading.
- Apply a light cutting oil or metalworking lubricant to minimize friction, reduce heat buildup, and extend die life.
- Turn the stock slowly, feeding evenly to produce consistent threads. Periodically back off to clear chips and prevent binding.
- Inspect the threaded portion for burrs or misalignment, and deburr if needed for a smooth, reliable fit.
