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
- High carbon steel construction
- Powder coated finish resists corrosion
- Specific 9/16-18 NF sizing
- 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.
