Burkit 1/4-28 UNF Thread Die Alloy Steel

Description

Product Overview

The Burkit 1/4-28 UNF round threading die is engineered for high‑precision external thread formation. Constructed from alloy tool steel, it delivers a hardness that resists wear and maintains sharp cutting edges. With a 28 teeth‑per‑inch (TPI) configuration, the die produces accurate UNF threads in a right‑hand direction, suitable for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Its compact 1/4‑inch cutting diameter and lightweight design (0.352 oz) ensure easy handling, while the silver finish provides clear visual identification.

Usage

Designed for both repair and new‑thread creation, this die integrates seamlessly with standard die wrenches or can be mounted on a lathe mold base for automated operations. Ideal for technicians, machinists, and hobbyists who need reliable thread cutting on bolts, rods, and fittings. Use in environments such as automotive workshops, aerospace component repair stations, and general manufacturing floors.
