Die Stock Holder Zinc Die-Cast 16 x 5 mm (5 Pieces)

• Clamp round dies and guide them manually when cutting external threads
• Start threads on bolts, shafts, or threaded rods in a controlled manner
• Use in single-part production, repair, and rework
• Suitable for workshop tasks in mechanical engineering, metal construction, and maintenance

Note Pay attention to clean alignment at the start and use a suitable cutting oil depending on the material.

• Stable clamping for round dies
• Better control when starting the external thread
• Even power transmission via two handles
• Quick tool change depending on the version

• Limited suitability for very hard or tough materials without suitable cutting conditions
• Not ideal when highly automated or highly dynamic machining is required

1. Check the die and holder for cleanliness and remove any adhering residues.
2. Open the clamping mechanism and insert the die flat into the holder.
3. Align the die so that it is clamped evenly and does not tilt.
4. Fix the clamping mechanism and check the secure fit by lightly turning against the handles.
5. Position the holder square to the workpiece axis and start cutting with steady guidance. Further handling notes can be found in the Technical Information Die Nuts PDF: Technical Information Die Nuts PDF
6. Work with even torque and guide the holder steadily so that alignment is maintained.
7. After use, release the clamping mechanism, remove the die, and clean both parts.

What do you use a die stock holder for?

You clamp a round die and guide it in a controlled way to cut an external thread evenly.

How do you align the die properly?

Insert the die flat into the holder, clamp it evenly, and start square to the workpiece axis. Technical Information Die Nuts PDF

What role does lubrication play when cutting external threads?

With a suitable cutting oil, you reduce friction and the risk of scoring. The selection depends on the material and the application.

What does the 16 x 5 mm specification describe?

The 16 x 5 mm specification corresponds to the version stated in the product name. For selection, it is crucial that it matches your die or tap.

Where can you find further information and tables?

Use the VD 23 catalog as PDF for technical notes, system overviews, and selection guides.

What should you check before first use?

Check whether the clamping surfaces are clean, whether the connection is free from play, and whether the alignment to the workpiece is correct.
