Die – Precision for external threads 

Die cutters are indispensable tools for producing external threads on bolts, screws and other metal parts. They ensure that external threads are cut precisely and accurately, resulting in stable and secure connections. Die cutters are often necessary, especially in the mechanical engineering industry and for repairs. They are also very useful in the hobby sector, for example in DIY projects, for creating external threads precisely.

Types of dies and their application 

Cutting dies are available in different versions, depending on the application:

• round dies: For cutting coarse external threads.
• hexagonal cutting dies: For more precise external threads, especially for finer threads.
• hand cutting dies: For manual work, especially for smaller projects.
• machine dies: For machine use in large series production.

These different types of dies allow adaptation to different requirements and ensure precise external threads.

Applications of dies 

Die cutters are indispensable in many areas. They are not only used in mechanical engineering, where they are used to create external threads on components and machines, but also in repair work, such as re-cutting damaged external threads on screws and bolts. Die cutters are also important for do-it-yourselfers to create external threads for DIY projects and smaller applications. The versatility of die cutters makes them an indispensable tool for both professional users and hobbyists.

Care and handling for maximum service life 

Proper care and handling of dies will help extend their life and optimize cutting performance. It is important to clean the die after use, lubricate it regularly and position it correctly to achieve a consistent and precise cut. Die sets provide an exact solution for cutting external threads and are indispensable in many areas of industry and for DIY enthusiasts.
