2″-12 Carbon Steel Hexagonal RE-Threading DIE by Michigan Drill

Description

Product Overview

The 2-12 Carbon Steel Hex Threading DIE by Michigan Drill is a precision-engineered re‑threading tool designed for hexagonal fasteners ranging from 2 to 12 mm. Constructed from high‑grade carbon steel, the die delivers exceptional wear resistance and maintains its cutting edge even after extensive use in harsh industrial environments. Its compact dimensions—3 × 3 × 2 inches—and lightweight profile of 2.3 pounds make it easy to maneuver in tight spaces, while the hexagonal shape ensures a secure grip on the workpiece. The die features a re‑threading (RE) design that allows users to restore damaged threads without removing the fastener, saving time and reducing material waste. Compatibility with standard hex bolt sizes and the inclusion of a clear size marking on the die surface simplify selection and setup, enabling fast, accurate thread repair on the shop floor or in the field.

Usage

This threading die is ideal for a wide range of applications, including machinery maintenance, equipment refurbishment, and custom fabrication projects. Maintenance technicians can use it to quickly re‑thread worn or stripped hex bolts on pumps, gearboxes, and hydraulic assemblies, extending the service life of critical components. Fabricators and welders benefit from the die’s ability to restore threads on fabricated parts where original thread integrity is essential for assembly strength. The tool also serves well in automotive repair shops for re‑threading engine bolts, suspension components, and chassis brackets. Its ergonomic design reduces operator fatigue during prolonged use, and the robust carbon‑steel construction tolerates the high torque required for re‑threading hardened steel fasteners. Whether operating in a factory, workshop, or on‑site service environment, the die delivers consistent performance and reliable results.

FAQ

What size hex bolts can this die re‑thread?

The die is calibrated for hex bolts ranging from 2 mm up to 12 mm, covering the most common sizes used in industrial machinery and equipment.

Can the die be used on hardened steel fasteners?

Yes. The carbon‑steel material is heat‑treated to achieve a hardness level suitable for cutting hardened steel threads, making it effective on both standard and hardened fasteners.

How do I maintain the cutting edges for optimal performance?

Periodically clean the die with a brush to remove metal chips, and apply a light coat of cutting oil before use. If the edges become dull, a professional sharpening service can restore the die to its original cutting efficiency.

Is this die compatible with standard hex socket wrenches?

The die’s hexagonal shape matches standard socket sizes, allowing it to be securely held in most hex socket wrenches or dedicated die holders for stable operation.

What warranty does Michigan Drill offer for this product?

Michigan Drill provides a one‑year limited warranty covering material defects and workmanship. Customers can contact the support team for replacement or repair under the warranty terms.
