Pro Tips

Always start the die square to the workpiece. A crooked start can damage the thread and cause poor fitting.
Chamfer the end of the workpiece slightly before threading to help the die start smoothly.
Use the correct lubricant for the material being cut to improve finish quality and extend tool life.
Use a forward-and-back cutting action: turn forward to cut, then reverse slightly to break the chip before continuing.
Do not force the die. If it becomes tight, reverse the tool, clear the chips, re-lubricate and continue carefully.
Clean and lightly oil the die after use to help protect the cutting edges during storage.

How to Use

Confirm that the required external thread is M28 x 3.0mm.
Check that the material is suitable for this die, such as mild steel, aluminium or brass.
Secure the workpiece firmly in a vice or suitable holding fixture.
Chamfer the starting end of the workpiece to help guide the die onto the material.
Fit the die into the correct round die holder, such as NR9030C, and secure it properly.
Apply the correct lubricant for the material being cut.
Position the die squarely on the workpiece and begin threading with steady pressure.
Turn forward to cut, then reverse slightly to break the chip. Repeat until the required thread length is reached.
Remove the die carefully, clean away swarf and test the thread fit with the correct nut or gauge.
