1 5/8"-16 UN Right Hand Round Threading Die, 1-5/8 Inch Diameter by 16 Thread Per Inch High Speed Steel Circular Die for External Threading and Bolt Repair, 1 Piece

This 1 5/8"-16 Right Hand Threading Die is a professional-grade tool designed for high-performance external thread processing. Whether you are a machinist working on a lathe or a technician performing field repairs on heavy equipment, this die provides the stability and sharpness required for clean, 16 Thread Per Inch results. Made from High Speed Steel (HSS), the die offers a significant advantage in tool life and cutting speed compared to standard carbon steel alternatives. The round shape ensures even distribution of cutting force, while the precision-ground teeth provide an accurate Unified National (UN) thread profile. For optimal performance and tool longevity, always use appropriate cutting fluid and ensure the die is aligned perpendicular to the workpiece.

• Precision Threading Specifications: This 1 5/8"-16 UN right-hand round die features a 1-5/8 inch nominal diameter and a 16 Thread Per Inch pitch. Engineered for creating new external threads or chasing existing ones with high dimensional accuracy.
• Industrial High Speed Steel (HSS): Constructed from industrial-grade High Speed Steel for superior hardness and heat resistance. This material ensures the cutting edges remain sharp even under heavy-duty use in professional machine shops.
• Standard Round Die Configuration: Designed with a circular geometry and a conical locking hole to fit securely into standard die stocks. The open-slot design allows for slight adjustments to thread fit and diameter.
• Efficient Chip Clearance: Features wide, precision-ground flutes that facilitate rapid chip removal. This prevents clogging and overheating, ensuring a smooth, gall-free finish on stainless steel, alloy steel, and cast iron.
• Wide Range of Applications: An essential tool for maintenance and repair of large-scale machinery, automotive components, and piping. Suitable for use on a variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
