Description
The CENTURY DRILL TOOL CO INC 97612 is a 9.0×1.00 metric hexagon die designed for hand cutting external threads on rod, bolt stock, and fasteners. Precision-formed cutting flutes produce consistent, accurate threads to metric M9 x 1.00 pitch specifications. The die is heat treated and tempered to file-hard hardness, giving the cutting edges extended service life and resistance to wear under repeated use. This tool is intended for hand threading applications where a die stock or tap-and-die handle is used to drive the die manually.
This metric hex die is suited for use in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and general trade applications where metric-threaded rod or fasteners must be cut or restored in the field or shop. The 9.0×1.00 thread specification is a standard metric coarse pitch, commonly encountered in light mechanical assemblies and hardware. The package includes 2 dies per unit, making it practical for bench stock or service van inventory.

Installation Notes
A licensed mechanic, pipefitter, or experienced tradesperson should select the correct die stock handle to match this hex die body before use. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before threading to prevent movement and ensure straight thread entry. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction, improve thread quality, and extend die life. Do not force the die back off periodically to clear chips and prevent binding or breakage.
