NKP 8 X 1 MM 1 Inch Dia Carbon Steel Circular Dies

The NKP 8 x 1 mm 1-inch diameter carbon steel circular die is a high-performance threading tool used primarily for cutting external threads onto cylindrical materials, such as rods, bolts, or pipes. Made from durable carbon steel, this die is designed to offer precision and longevity in various mechanical and industrial applications. Below is a detailed description of the product:

Product Overview:

• Type: Circular Die
• Material: Carbon Steel
• Dimensions: 8 x 1 mm (thread pitch of 1 mm)
• Diameter: 1 inch (approximately 25.4 mm)
• Thread Pitch: 8 threads per inch (TPI), with a 1 mm pitch, meaning the distance between each thread crest is 1 mm.

Key Features:

1. Material – Carbon Steel Construction:
   • This die is made from carbon steel, a material known for its strength, durability, and resistance to wear. Carbon steel is ideal for threading operations because it can withstand the pressures involved in cutting metal and other materials without deforming. Its durability ensures the die maintains its sharpness for a long time, even under heavy use.
2. Precision Threading:
   • The 8 x 1 mm specification indicates that the die is designed to create threads with a 1 mm pitch, meaning the distance between adjacent threads is 1 mm. The “8” indicates 8 threads per inch (TPI), which is commonly used for medium to fine threading applications. This is ideal for components requiring finer, more precise threads, such as screws, bolts, or rods used in machinery or automotive parts.
3. 1-Inch Diameter:
   • The 1-inch diameter (approximately 25.4 mm) of the die means that it is suited for cutting threads on workpieces with similar or slightly smaller diameters. This makes it an ideal tool for creating threads on rods, bolts, and pipes that are used in mechanical assemblies, automotive repairs, and manufacturing.
4. Manual Operation:
   • The manual operation of the die involves using a die stock or die holder to guide and rotate the die onto the workpiece. By turning the die holder, the die cuts external threads along the surface of the rod or bolt. This makes the tool easy to use, even for those with limited experience in threading.

Applications:

1. Metalworking and Manufacturing:
   • The NKP 8 x 1 mm die is ideal for cutting external threads in metalworking operations, particularly when precise threads are needed for connecting rods, bolts, studs, or pipes. It is used in the creation of fasteners, such as screws and bolts, and for repairs in mechanical and industrial settings.
2. Automotive Industry:
   • This die is also used in the automotive sector, where fine threads are often required for securing engine parts, fasteners, and other mechanical components. Its precision ensures that threaded components are accurately sized for tight and secure fittings.
3. Machinery Assembly and Repair:
   • For repairing damaged threads or producing custom-sized fasteners, this die can be used in machinery shops. It is essential for tasks that require creating or repairing threaded connections to ensure proper functioning.
4. DIY and Home Projects:
   • The NKP 8 x 1 mm die is suitable for DIY enthusiasts and home workshops. It allows users to repair or create threaded connections on small components or projects, such as building custom fasteners for furniture or mechanical repairs.

Benefits:

1. Durability:
   • The carbon steel material ensures that the die can handle repeated use without losing its cutting edge. It is capable of cutting threads on a variety of materials, including softer metals, plastics, and wood.
2. Accuracy and Precision:
   • The 8 x 1 mm thread specification ensures that the die cuts threads with consistent accuracy, providing a reliable solution for creating well-fitted fasteners.
3. Versatility:
   • The 1-inch diameter makes the die versatile for use on a wide range of workpieces, from small rods to larger bolts and pipes.
4. Ease of Use:
   • This die is easy to operate with a manual die stock or holder. The process of threading is straightforward, making it suitable for professionals and DIY users alike.

Maintenance Tips:

1. Lubrication:
   • Always use cutting fluid or lubricant when using the die. Lubrication reduces friction, minimizes heat, and extends the life of the die. It also ensures smoother and cleaner threads.
2. Cleaning:
   • After use, clean the die thoroughly to remove any metal shavings or debris that may be left behind. A brush or compressed air can help clean the threads and die body, preventing clogging and damage.
3. Storage:
   • Store the die in a dry and cool environment to prevent rusting. Carbon steel can corrode if exposed to moisture, so keeping the die in a protective case or a well-maintained toolbox is recommended.
4. Inspection:
   • Regularly inspect the die for any signs of wear or dullness. If the cutting edges become chipped or worn, it’s time to replace the die to maintain the quality of your threads.

Conclusion:

The NKP 8 x 1 mm 1-inch diameter carbon steel circular die is a versatile, durable, and precise tool for creating external threads on rods, bolts, and pipes. Its carbon steel construction ensures strength and longevity, while its fine threading capability (8 TPI and 1 mm pitch) makes it perfect for applications requiring precise, high-quality threading. Whether used in metalworking, automotive repairs, or DIY projects, this die provides reliability and performance, ensuring that your threaded components are strong and secure.
