Hand round dies for manual external thread cutting

Hand round dies are turned with a die stock instead of being driven from a machine spindle, which makes them the practical choice for repair work, small batches and on-site threading. This range covers adjustable hand round dies, compact hand die sets and pipe dies.

A solid die cuts to a fixed size and holds that size across a run. An adjustable die has a split body and a setting screw, so the thread size can be trimmed within a small range to compensate for tool wear or to ease a tight fit.

What to confirm before ordering a hand round die

• Thread: standard, nominal diameter and pitch, for example metric coarse or fine, or the required inch series.
• Die body: outside diameter and thickness, so the die mates with the die stock you already hold.
• Body type: solid for a fixed size, or adjustable if you need to trim the thread size or repair worn threads.
• Workpiece: material and condition, which determine the suitable die material and geometry.
• Order details: quantity, packaging and delivery destination.
