Baer Circular Die HSS - 8-UN - Right Hand - For General use - 1 3/4 x 8 is a precision external-threading tool designed for workshops and professional shops. Made from high-speed steel, it’s built to deliver clean, consistent threads on cylindrical stock when used with a die stock or die holder.

• Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) construction delivers durability and wear resistance for repeated use.
• Thread size and pitch: 1-3/4" nominal diameter with 8 threads per inch (8-UN).
• Thread direction: Right-hand threading for standard external threads.
• Cutting edges: Precision-ground cutting edges designed to produce clean, accurate thread formation on each pass.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with a die stock or die holder to ensure stable rotation and controlled cutting.
• General-use design: Suitable for a range of cylindrical workpieces and common metals when used with proper lubrication.
• Brand and quality: Baer round dies are crafted for longevity and consistent results across jobs.

This circular die enables reliable external threading in a single, straightforward operation, making it ideal for repair work, prototyping, and fabrication projects that require precise UN threads. The HSS material balances hardness and toughness to handle a variety of metals when paired with the right lubricants, helping minimize heat and extend tool life. Use with a standard die stock for stable guidance, and apply cutting oil to improve chip control and finish. For best results, advance the die smoothly, maintain alignment to avoid cross-threading, and back off occasionally to break chips.
