• Thread size: M16
• Thread pitch: 1.0 mm
• Intended use: cutting and repairing external threads on bolts, studs and rods
• Compatible mounting: manual die stock and compatible holders

How to use

Secure the workpiece so it cannot rotate and select the appropriate die stock or holder for the FANAR M16x1 die. Align the die squarely with the bolt, stud or rod and apply cutting oil to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation. Start threading by turning the die stock slowly and evenly, keeping the die perpendicular to the workpiece. Periodically back off the die to clear chips and reapply cutting fluid as needed. Continue until the required thread length is achieved, then clean the thread and inspect for correct fit and profile.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting oil and moderate force to prolong die life and ensure clean thread cutting. For severely damaged threads, pre-align and chase the start with a small file or tap to avoid cross-threading. Store the die in a dry place and clean chips after each use.
