Die Stock steel 160 x 25 mm

The correct use of a die stock is crucial for clean thread cuts and a long tool life. Follow these steps:

• Preparation of the Workpiece: Select the right die and clamp the workpiece (e.g., a bolt or a rod) firmly in a vise. Chamfer the end of the workpiece slightly.
• Inserting the Die: Insert the die of the correct size into the holder and fasten it securely with the set screws to ensure a firm grip.
• Starting the Cutting Process: Place the die perpendicularly on the chamfered workpiece surface. Begin turning the handles clockwise (for a right-hand thread) with light pressure.
• Chip Breaking and Continuing: After every half to full turn, turn the holder back a quarter turn counter-clockwise. This breaks the chips and prevents the die from clogging. Repeat this process until the thread is fully cut.
• Cooling and Lubrication: Use cutting oil throughout the process to reduce friction and heat. This ensures better cut quality and extends the life of the die.

The DIN 225 standard is a German industrial standard that specifies the dimensions and requirements for hand-held die stocks and dies. It is also known under the successor standard DIN EN 22568, a harmonized European standard. Compliance with this standard ensures that the die stock is precisely manufactured and guarantees compatibility with round dies that are also manufactured according to this standard.

The standard thus guarantees:

• Precision Fit: Dies and holders fit together perfectly.
• Quality: The tool meets defined quality standards.
• Safety: The fastening and handling are standardized and safe.

Q1: What is the difference between "DIN 225" and "DIN EN 22568"?

DIN EN 22568 is the current European standard that has superseded the older DIN 225. Both standards define the same dimensions and requirements for die stocks and dies. The designations are therefore often used interchangeably.

Q2: Why is the use of cutting oil so important?

Cutting oil reduces friction and heat generation during the cutting process. This not only leads to a cleaner and more precise thread but also significantly extends the life of the die, as it is protected from excessive wear.

Q3: Which types of threads is this holder suitable for?

This holder is suitable for cutting external threads of all kinds, as long as the die used has the standardized size of 160 x 25 mm. The specific thread type (e.g., metric, imperial) depends solely on the die used, not on the holder itself.
