1-1/2"-18 HSS Round Adjustable Die

This High Speed Steel die cuts 1-1/2"-18 threads on pipe, rod or tubing. The round, adjustable design lets you fine-tune thread fit for plumbing, mechanical repair or custom fabrication. It is supplied new and ready for workshop use.

For threading and repair work

Machinists, plumbers and maintenance technicians who need to create or restore external 1-1/2"-18 threads will find this die suitable. It is not intended for buyers who require internal tapping tools, different thread pitches or automated high-volume production dies.

Adjustable HSS construction

A fine-pitch adjusting screw opens or closes the die halves for precise thread-class control. Both faces are chamfered, one side with a 2 to 3 thread lead and the other with a 1 to 1-1/2 thread lead for threading near shoulders. High Speed Steel provides improved wear life during cutting.

Questions about this item

Which size should I choose for threading a 1-1/2"-18 pipe?

The die is marked 1-1/2"-18x2-1/2" OD, so it matches a 1-1/2"-18 thread pitch and fits a standard 2-1/2" outer-diameter die holder.

What does the HSS label mean for tool life on the job?

High-speed steel gives better wear resistance than carbon steel, so the die stays sharp longer when cutting steel or stainless pipe.

How does the adjustable screw affect the thread fit?

The fine-pitch adjusting screw opens or closes the die halves, letting you cut slightly tighter or looser threads to suit the application.
