Perfect External Threads - Easy with Guides for Round Dies!
In the world of mechanical engineering and industrial manufacturing, precision is the key to success. If you want to cut bolt threads reliably and efficiently, you need not only high-quality threading tools but also clever accessories that simplify the work process. One often underestimated but extremely helpful component is the die stock guide. In this blog post, we’ll show you why it's worth using and what advantages die stock guides offer.
Die stock guides: Greater precision when cutting bolt threads
As one of the leading manufacturers of threading tools, VÖLKEL Threading Solutions has been offering a wide range of precision tools for decades. Our die stock guides for thread sizes M3 to M12 perfectly complement the range and are the ideal solution for achieving maximum accuracy when cutting bolt threads.
- Centered alignment: The guide aligns the die exactly axially to the plain bolt. This avoids angled starts and faulty threads.
- Easy handling: The guide is clamped together with the die in the holder. Handling remains simple as usual, and alignment is automatic.
- Less waste: Thanks to precise guidance, you reduce failed attempts and increase productivity.
Practical example: Achieving the perfect thread with a guide
Our technician Simon demonstrates in a short YouTube video how simple and efficient using our die stock guides is. In the video, he explains the challenge of centered alignment and shows the solution step by step:
- Without a guide: The die has to be aligned by eye – this requires experience and concentration.
- With a die stock guide: The guide ensures precise alignment. The die automatically aligns itself parallel to the bolt.
- The result: A perfectly cut, straight bolt thread – simple and repeatable.
Conclusion: Small tool, big impact
Die stock guides from VÖLKEL Threading Solutions are a real asset for anyone who wants to cut bolt threads precisely and efficiently. They not only make handling easier but also ensure flawless results – especially in applications where the highest accuracy is essential.
Anyone already working with VÖLKEL threading tools will immediately recognize the added value of the guide. And those who haven’t used one yet will be surprised at how easily bolt thread cutting can be optimized.
