Which holder is typically used for this tool type?
Round dies are commonly used with a die holder that supports alignment and even clamping. Hexagon die nuts are typically driven with a wrench for controlled manual torque.
How do you choose the correct variant?
Match the thread system and nominal size shown in the product name to the external thread you need. Confirm that your workpiece diameter is prepared according to the relevant standard.
How do you avoid a tapered or oversize result?
Keep the die square to the axis during the start, and maintain stable torque transfer. Use consistent lubrication and avoid forcing the tool when resistance increases.
How do you care for the tool after use?
Clean the cutting edges, remove chips from the thread profile, and protect against corrosion if needed. Store the die in a protected sleeve or case.
What preparation is required before cutting an external thread?
Prepare the workpiece diameter and add a lead in chamfer, then remove burrs. Use suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and improve surface quality.
How do you store the product to maintain accuracy and edge condition?
Store it dry and protected from impact, and keep protective caps or packaging in place if supplied. Avoid contact between functional surfaces and other tools.
