Threading Die FANAR 1/4" inch hand die N2-188001-3127

FANAR 1/4" inch hand die is a manual external threading tool designed to cut inch (imperial) 1/4" threads on rods and bolts. Intended for use with standard die stocks, this hand die enables controlled, precise thread cutting for repair, fabrication and prototype work. The tool is suitable for manual metalworking operations where inch-size threads are required and provides a straightforward solution for restoring damaged threads or producing new threaded ends on shafts and fasteners.

Advantages

The hand die offers accurate thread profile reproduction for consistent fit with corresponding nuts and threaded components. Its compatibility with standard die holders simplifies setup and replacement during workshop tasks. The tool’s construction provides reliable cutting performance for occasional to frequent manual threading operations, ensuring repeatable results and reducing the need for specialized machinery.

Suitable for

• Manual threading of rods and bolts to 1/4" inch imperial thread size
• Maintenance and repair of machinery and fastened assemblies
• Fabrication and prototype work requiring external threads
• On-site or workshop applications where portable hand threading is needed

Key specifications

• Thread size: 1/4" (inch, imperial)
• Type: hand-operated external threading die
• Compatibility: fits standard die stocks/holders
• Application material: suitable for machining common metals (steel, brass, aluminium) when used with appropriate technique and lubrication
• Use case: suitable for repair, restoration, fabrication and prototyping

How to use

Secure the die into a compatible die stock or holder, ensuring correct orientation of the chamfered face toward the workpiece. Center the rod or bolt and apply light cutting oil to the work area to reduce friction and improve chip clearance. Begin cutting with even pressure, using short forward strokes and backing out periodically to break chips. Maintain alignment to avoid cross-threading and continue until the required thread length is achieved. Clean the thread and inspect fit with a matching nut or threaded component.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate cutting lubes for the material being threaded and inspect the workpiece for damage before cutting. For hardened materials, consider pre-drilling, annealing, or using suitable dies rated for high-hardness applications. Store the die in a dry place to prevent corrosion and check the tool regularly for wear to maintain thread accuracy.
