FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this die nut?

The primary purpose of this die nut is to clean existing threads on M2 screws or bolts with a 0.4 pitch, or to re-thread slightly damaged threads.

What size thread does this die nut work with?

This die nut is specifically designed for M2 (metric size 2mm diameter) threads with a pitch of 0.4mm.

Do I need a special tool to use this die nut?

Yes, this die nut is designed to be used with a compatible die holder, specifically the Connect die holder, Part No. 37023.

What material is the die nut made from?

The die nut is manufactured from durable alloy steel.

Can this die nut be used for cutting new threads?

While it can re-thread slightly damaged threads, its primary function is for cleaning existing threads. For cutting entirely new threads, a dedicated tap would typically be used.

This die nut is available individually and also serves as a replacement die nut for the Laser Tap & Die Set, Part No. 4554.

How should I maintain this die nut?

Clean the die nut after each use, apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, and store it in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

Die nut not cutting threads effectively

Ensure the die nut is correctly seated and secured in the die holder. Check if the die nut's cutting edges are clean and free from debris. Verify that you are using the correct die holder and applying appropriate cutting fluid or lubricant.

Difficulty fitting die nut into holder

Confirm that you are using the specified Connect die holder (Part No. 37023). Ensure there is no dirt or damage on the die nut or the holder's slot. The die nut is precisely manufactured and should fit snugly.

Die nut wears out quickly

Reduce the amount of force applied during threading. Ensure proper lubrication is used, as this reduces friction and heat, extending the life of the cutting edges. Clean the die nut thoroughly after each use to remove abrasive material.
