RTD / RTDM Series Rethreading Dies
A damaged shaft thread is usually why a locknut will not run down square, and a cocked nut is why the bearing fails again. RTD (inch) and RTDM (metric) rethreading dies clean and repair bearing shaft threads in place — chasing burrs, nicks and corrosion back to the original profile without cutting new material and without pulling the shaft. Sizes correspond directly to the Whittet-Higgins locknut thread series.
