Threading die FANAR M8 for external threads, model N2-188001-0080

FANAR threading die M8 (model N2-188001-0080) is a hand tool designed for cutting and restoring external metric threads with a nominal diameter of M8. Intended for use on rods, bolts and studs, this die produces standard external threads suitable for general maintenance, repair and light fabrication tasks. The tool is compact and manually operated, allowing controlled threading on-site or in a workshop without the need for power equipment.

Advantages

The threading die provides accurate thread profile and consistent pitch for M8 external threads, ensuring reliable engagement with corresponding internal threads. Its hardened cutting edges maintain shape over repeated use, and the hand-tool format offers portability and ease of handling. The design supports simple thread repair as well as new thread formation on plain rods or worn bolts.

Suitable for

• Repairing damaged external threads on bolts and studs
• Forming new M8 external threads on rods in light fabrication
• Maintenance tasks in workshops, garages and mechanical service
• Fieldwork where portable, manual threading tools are required

Key specifications

• Thread size: M8 external metric thread
• Thread type: standard metric profile and pitch
• Tool type: hand-operated round die for external threading
• Intended material use: general-purpose metals (steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous alloys) depending on die material and workpiece hardness
• Typical applications: thread cutting and thread restoration

How to use

Secure the workpiece so it cannot rotate and select the correct starting position for the die on the rod or bolt. Apply cutting lubricant to the workpiece and start the die square to the axis, turning it evenly to begin cutting. Use steady, controlled strokes and clear chips periodically by reversing the die slightly to prevent jamming. Continue until the desired thread length is reached, then back the die off and inspect the formed thread for correct profile and fit with a mating nut.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, use appropriate cutting lubricant, do not force the die through hardened or damaged areas without pre-machining, and inspect the die before use for wear or damage. When working with harder steels, choose a die and process compatible with the material hardness and consider pre-drilling or turning to proper diameter before threading.
