a "die", I presume you're UK?

That link shows a split die which is different to a dienut. A dienut is
typically hexagonal and used to clean up existing threads, some here

If there is not much cleaning to be done, if the threads don't need to
be real pretty, and if you have a 9/16-28 nut, you can use the nut to
clean them up by using a hacksaw blade to put a few teeth on the nut's
threads. But then, who has a 9/16-28 nut?

If you read the included text, you'll note they _also_ carry "die-nuts".

Pretty much any gunsmith worth his salt would have 9/16-28 thread chasing
equipment. I wonder if the op has enough use for it to require buying the
tool, or if a trip to a smith would be more effective.

Lloyd

The only size close I found at Brownells was 9/16x24. Spent years gunsmithing and never needed a 9/16x28. I rebuild MGB steering columns as a sideline business and some columns use 9/16x28 threads to attach the steering wheel.. Often columns come to me with buggered threads from people using a hammer and backed off nut to jar steering wheel off the shaft. I usually have to turn down the first thread or two in order to be able to reuse the old threads. Way too much trouble to set up to pick up the thread and recut in my lathe-less trouble to remove the threaded section of the shaft and replace it with new. So yes, I do have enough need to purchase the proper size die. Thanks to all who responded

Actually...its fairly easy to pick up a thread on a lathe,
particularly fine threads. You just have to take out any backlash
while finding the thread.

Not easy to pick up thread on these jobs because after years of abuse the threaded ends of these MGB columns are almost never true. Chuck it in my lathe and they wobble too much to be able to recut the threads with a single point tool. The threaded end of the shaft gets bent by people using a hammer beating on the end of the shaft to remove the steering wheel from it's splined shaft and tapered seat. Hence the need of a dienut to clean damaged threads.

Snap-on sells a set of three that specifically calls out 28tpi as one of
the 'fit' threads. (9-32tpi, and several metric sizes).

Of course, Snap-on is always pricey, but their tools are always being
dumped by someone in debt and looking for a quick buck.

That can be taken several different ways, depending if you are
referring to Too Many Tools as a personal pronoun or a general
statement on Stuff... (ISWYDT.)

Let's re-phrase that as "Most people don't need multiple duplicates or
mass quantities of unusual tools that only need to be used one at a
time."

Now having spares of special tools that can break on you during use,
can't be substituted around, and have a weeks-long lead time to get a
new one, yes.

But having a dozen 4" angle grinders or sparkplug thread chasers is
pointless. When it breaks, just go down to the Borg and get another.
