Threading Die Art-Pol M16×1.25 mm — external metric die for cutting M16x1.25 threads

Art-Pol threading die M16×1.25 mm is an external metric die designed to cut or repair M16x1.25 threads. It is suitable for use with a hand-held die stock or bench-mounted holders to restore damaged threads on bolts, studs and rods or to produce new external threads with consistent pitch and profile. The die is intended for maintenance, metalworking and on-site repair tasks where accurate M16 x 1.25 threading is required.

Advantages

The die provides precise thread profiling for M16 diameter components with a 1.25 mm pitch, ensuring compatibility with matching internal threads. Its design supports manual operation in standard die stocks and allows controlled cutting or re-cutting of external threads. The tool reduces the need for component replacement by enabling accurate thread repair and helps achieve repeatable, uniform threads across multiple parts.

Suitable for

• Repairing damaged external threads on M16 bolts and studs
• Cutting new M16×1.25 external threads on rods and shafts
• On-site maintenance and field repair tasks
• General metalworking and workshop threading operations

Key specifications

• Thread form: metric external die for 60° V-threads
• Nominal size: M16
• Pitch: 1.25 mm
• Intended use: manual die-stock or compatible holders
• Application: cutting and repairing external threads on bolts, studs and rods

How to use

Secure the die in a compatible die stock or holder, align it square to the workpiece and apply cutting oil to the blank or damaged thread area. Start the die onto the rod or bolt by turning slowly and evenly to ensure proper engagement of the first threads. Advance with steady forward turns and periodic reverse turns to break chips and clear debris. Maintain alignment and consistent pressure until the desired thread depth is reached, then remove the die and clean chips from the workpiece and tool.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting or tapping oil for the material being machined, keep the die and workpiece properly aligned during cutting, and periodically back off to clear chips. Inspect threads after cutting for correct fit with mating nuts or tapped holes and rework only as necessary to avoid over-sizing.
