Threading die FANAR 1/8" inch for external threads, model N1-121001-4623

FANAR threading die 1/8" (model N1-121001-4623) is a hand or machine die designed for cutting and reconditioning external threads with a nominal size of 1/8 inch. Manufactured for use in metalworking and maintenance, this die produces standard external threads on rods, studs and cylindrical workpieces. It is compatible with standard die stocks or holders and intended for workshop and industrial applications where accurate, repeatable external threads are required.

Advantages

The die offers a compact form factor and a hardened cutting profile to ensure consistent thread geometry and extended tool life. It can be used manually or in powered die-holders, providing flexibility for on-site repairs and controlled production tasks. Its design supports reliable chip evacuation and stable engagement with the workpiece, which helps reduce scarring and improves thread finish when used with appropriate cutting fluid and correct setup.

Suitable for

• Cutting new external threads on rods and studs with nominal 1/8" size
• Reconditioning worn or damaged external threads during maintenance
• Small-scale workshop fabrication and repair tasks
• Use in combination with die stocks, holders or power die chucks

Key specifications

• Nominal thread size: 1/8 inch (external threads)
• Use type: hand or machine die for external threading
• Application materials: metals commonly used in workshops (steel, brass, aluminium) when appropriate cutting parameters are observed
• Typical mounting: compatible with standard die stocks and holders for 1/8" dies
• Primary functions: cutting and reconditioning of external threads

How to use

Secure the die in a suitable die stock or holder, align it squarely with the workpiece and start the cut with light, even pressure. Use appropriate cutting fluid for the material being machined, advance the die a fraction of a turn and then back off periodically to clear chips. For reconditioning, ensure the workpiece is properly supported and remove any burrs before cutting. When using a powered die holder, operate at recommended speeds and feeds for the material to maintain thread quality and tool life.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable cutting fluid, check alignment before each cut, and inspect threads after machining. For reproducible results, maintain die sharpness and replace the die if thread quality degrades significantly.
