Threading Die Fanar M18x1 for External Threads, FANAR N1-121001-0183

External threading die Fanar M18x1 for External Threads is a precision-cutting tool designed for producing and repairing M18 x 1 metric external threads on rods, bolts and tubular parts. Manufactured by FANAR, this die is suitable for use in manual die stocks as well as compatible machine holders, providing consistent thread form and dimensional accuracy for metalworking and maintenance operations.

Advantages

This threading die offers accurate thread geometry and clean chip evacuation for reliable cutting performance. The hardened and ground working surfaces ensure wear resistance and extended service life under normal use. Designed for straightforward installation in standard die holders, the die provides repeatable thread pitch and diameter control for repair and production tasks.

Suitable for

• Cutting new M18 x 1 external threads on rods and shafts
• Repairing damaged or worn M18 x 1 threads on bolts and studs
• Creating threaded ends on tubular components in maintenance and fabrication
• Use in manual die stocks and compatible machine die holders

Key specifications

• Thread form: Metric external thread, pitch 1.0 mm
• Nominal size: M18
• Intended material: general-purpose use on steel and common metals (observe material-specific cutting data)
• Typical mounting: standard round die for die stock or machine holder
• Finish: hardened and ground cutting surfaces for wear resistance

How to use

Secure the die in a compatible die stock or machine holder, ensuring proper alignment with the workpiece axis. Prepare the rod or bolt by facing and chamfering the end to allow easy thread engagement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce friction and improve chip evacuation. Rotate the die onto the workpiece with steady pressure, cutting gradually and backing off periodically to clear chips. After cutting, inspect the thread for correct form and clean off any chips and cutting fluid.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting speed and lubrication for the workpiece material, and avoid excessive force to prevent premature wear. For hardened materials or high-volume production, evaluate suitable dies or pre-treatment processes specific to the material. Store the die in a dry place and clean after use to maintain cutting performance.
