note: Use cutting oil to reduce the friction
between the workpiece and the die 1 .
j Determine the required thread.
j Select the thread to match the bolt diameter.
This should be slightly smaller than the nomi-
nal diameter of the thread (see table below).
j Slightly chamfer the leading edge of the
bolt. This will ease the work of cutting the
first threads.

j Place the die 1 on the bolt to be cut. En-
sure that the arms of the die stock 2 are at
right angles to the bolt to be cut.

even pressure.
