Threading die FANAR M16 — solid round die for cutting M16 threads (N1-121001-0160)

FANAR threading die for M16 threads, model N1-121001-0160, is a solid round die designed to cut or restore external metric M16 threads on rods and bolts. Intended for both manual and machine use, this solid die provides a precise thread profile and consistent pitch to ensure reliable assembly and replacement of fasteners in repair, maintenance and metalworking environments.

Advantages

The solid round construction offers rigidity and durability during cutting operations, reducing deformation of the workpiece. Machined cutting faces maintain accurate thread geometry for a proper fit with corresponding nuts and threaded components. The die’s design is suitable for use in hand die stocks and in appropriate die holders on lathes or thread-cutting machines, enabling both maintenance and production applications.

Suitable for

• Cutting new external M16 threads on rods and bolts
• Restoring damaged or worn M16 external threads
• Use in repair shops, maintenance departments and metalworking workshops
• Manual threading with a die stock or machine threading with a die holder

Key specifications

• Thread type: metric external thread, size M16
• Form: solid round die
• Material: hardened tool steel (typical for solid dies)
• Application: cutting and restoring external threads on rods and bolts
• Compatibility: suitable for manual die stocks and machine die holders

How to use

Select the correct die orientation and secure the solid round die in a compatible die stock or die holder. Center the die on the rod or bolt and apply steady, even pressure while turning the die to cut the thread. Use cutting oil to reduce friction and remove chips; back off periodically to clear debris and check thread engagement. For machine use, mount the die in the appropriate holder and follow the machine’s operating parameters for feed and speed to achieve correct thread form.

Usage recommendations

Ensure the workpiece diameter matches the nominal size for M16 threads before cutting. Use appropriate cutting lubricant and maintain the die clean and properly secured. Inspect restored threads for correct fit with mating parts and replace the die if cutting edges become worn or chipped.
