The Metric Thread File restores and corrects damaged external threads on shafts, rods, and fasteners by matching the thread pitch and guiding the cutting edges along the existing thread pattern. Each side of the file has a specific metric pitch, allowing accurate selection based on the thread being repaired, which ensures that the original thread form is maintained during the restoration process. The cross-cut pattern helps maintain consistent engagement with the thread grooves and reduces slipping, especially when working on fine pitches.Attributes:• Restores damaged external thread.• The file has eight separate pitches are 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 2.50, and 3.00.• Makes thread repairs without using a thread die.• Each file is individually packaged in a plastic tube.Applications: The Metric Thread File is used on externally threaded components such as shafts, bolts, and rods where threads are damaged or worn, allowing restoration so that mating parts can be reassembled properly.
