The Century Drill and Tool 96201 is a professional-grade hexagon threading die designed for creating and restoring 1/4-20 National Coarse (NC) external threads on bolts, rods, and pipes. This carbon steel die features precision-cut threads that are accurately formed to deliver consistent, exact threading results every time.

Key Features:

• Thread size: 1/4-20 NC (National Coarse) with 20 threads per inch
• Heat treated and tempered high-carbon steel construction for file-hard threads and extended service life
• Hexagon shape measures 1 inch across flats, allowing easy turning with a standard wrench or hex die stock
• Right-hand thread direction for standard applications
• Designed specifically for hand cutting and rethreading operations
• Made in Japan for superior quality and precision

This hex die is ideal for thread repair, restoration of damaged threads, and creating new threads on unthreaded stock. The hexagonal design provides excellent grip and leverage when used with a compatible 1-inch hex die stock or adjustable wrench. For best results, use cutting oil during operation and advance the die 1/4 turn before backing off slightly to clear metal chips.
