The AB Tools M11 x 0.75mm Metric Split Die is designed for professional machinists, automotive technicians, and skilled hobbyists who require precise, high-quality threading in metalwork. Its primary benefit is its superior tungsten steel construction, which offers significantly enhanced hardness and durability over standard carbon steel alternatives for both rethreading damaged bolts and cutting new threads. One caveat to keep in mind is that as a 38mm diameter die, it specifically requires a compatible 38mm die holder, so ensure your tooling setup matches this requirement before beginning your project.

This die is manufactured from high-quality tungsten steel, which is harder and more durable than standard carbon steel.
No, this die has an outer diameter of 38mm and requires a holder specifically designed for 38mm dies.
It is suitable for general steel, aluminium, and copper; however, for very hard stainless steel, ensure you use high-quality cutting lubricant and proceed slowly.
This is a standard right-handed thread die.
The split allows the user to adjust the size of the thread slightly using the center screw of the die holder, permitting custom fits or finishing passes.
Ensure the side set screws on your die holder are fully seated into the two side holes of the die.
Use more cutting fluid and ensure the die is square to the workpiece; if damage persists, check if the workpiece material is too hard.
Verify that the end of the rod is chamfered and that you are applying steady downward pressure while turning clockwise.
To set up the tool, place the split die into your 38mm die holder, ensuring the two side holes align with the adjustment and locking screws on your holder. Tighten the central screw slightly to 'open' the die for the first pass, then adjust for a tighter fit on subsequent passes if a deeper thread is required.
Compatibility is straightforward: this tool works with any die holder stock that supports a 38mm diameter. For maintenance, never force the tool if you feel excessive resistance. Always apply a generous amount of threading fluid or light machine oil during use. After each session, clean all metal shavings from the teeth using a wire brush and store the die in a dry, organized container to prevent oxidation.
