Overview

The Century 98212 is a single high carbon steel threading die sized 9/16-18 NF, finished with a powder coating and weighing just 0.8 ounces.

The 9/16-18 NF size marks it as a National Fine thread die, used for fasteners that call for a finer thread pitch than the more common NC series. At 0.8 ounces this is one die rather than a multi piece set, so buyers needing other sizes will need to source them separately.

  • High carbon steel material
  • Powder coated finish
  • 0.8 ounce weight

Who it's for

Fits anyone rethreading or chasing damaged 9/16-18 NF threads on bolts or rod, whether for automotive, machine, or general repair work. Not useful if the job calls for a different thread size or pitch.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • High carbon steel construction
  • Powder coated finish resists corrosion
  • Specific 9/16-18 NF sizing
Cons
  • Single size, not a multi piece set

Performance notes

High carbon steel gives the cutting edges resistance to wear when chasing or cutting threads, and the powder coated finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance over the bare metal. At 9/16-18 NF, it is built for one thread pitch rather than a range of sizes.
