Draper Metric Hexagon Die Nut Set - 5 Piece

The Draper Metric Hexagon Die Nut Set works well on various metals, including mild steel, aluminum, and brass. However, cutting oil is recommended for optimal performance on harder materials.

Cutting oil reduces friction, prevents heat buildup, and helps to remove metal shavings, resulting in a cleaner and more precise thread.

Select the die size that matches the thread size of the fastener or rod you are working with. The die sizes are marked on each die.

Yes, a die stock is recommended to hold the die and provide leverage for cutting threads. It is not included in the set.

Store the dies in a dry place, preferably in the provided display packaging, after cleaning and applying a light coat of oil to prevent rust.

No, this set is designed for cutting or repairing external threads. You would need a tap set for internal threads.

If a die breaks, cease use immediately. Replace the die with a new one of the appropriate size. Always wear safety glasses when using this tool.

Ensure you are using the correct die size. Apply cutting oil and try again. Check for any damage to the die itself. If the material is too hard, you may need to use a different die material or method.

Start the die straight and apply even pressure. Use a die stock to keep the die aligned. If cross-threading occurs, try to back off the die and start again.

Apply more cutting oil. Gently try to back the die off. If it is still stuck, check for damage to the die or fastener. In extreme cases, you may need to cut the fastener.
