Die Stock Holder Zinc Die-Cast 20 x 5 mm (5 Pieces)
You select this die stock when round dies need a simple holder for external thread work and repair. It supports clamping, alignment, and manual feed during the threading operation rather than performing the cut itself. The stated holder size helps you match it to the die body before setup.
The M designation identifies metric ISO threads that are standard across general engineering, maintenance, and machine building. Zinc die cast construction keeps the holder body practical and light for manual handling.
- Clamp a round die securely so you can guide an external thread operation with controlled manual feed.
- Support alignment at the thread start when you are cutting a new external thread or reworking an existing one.
- Use in workshop repair, maintenance, and fabrication where manual die handling must remain stable.
- Keep the die secured by the clamp screws so the holder and die act as one assembly during use.
Note Confirm that the die outside diameter and thickness match the holder size before you clamp the die.
- Clamps the round die securely for more controlled manual handling.
- Supports a square thread start when you align the holder correctly.
- Simple construction is easy to clean and keep ready for workshop use.
- Suitable for external thread cutting and thread chasing with matching round dies.
Drawbacks
- The holder only fits round dies that match the stated holder size.
- It is intended for manual handling, not for improvised high speed powered use.
- Clean the holder and the round die seating area before assembly.
- Insert the round die into the holder with the lead side oriented for the intended cut direction.
- Tighten the clamp screws evenly so the die sits securely in the central body.
- Place the holder square to the workpiece and start the die carefully on the prepared rod or thread end.
- Guide the holder with steady torque so the die advances without tilting.
- Remove the die after the pass, clean the holder, and protect the clamping surfaces for the next job.

- How do you choose the correct die stock?
Match the holder size stated in the product name to the outside diameter and thickness of the round die you plan to clamp.
- Can you use this holder for new threads and for thread repair?
Yes. A die stock is used both for cutting new external threads and for chasing or restoring existing ones when a matching round die is installed.
- Why does square alignment matter so much?
If the die starts tilted, the external thread can cut unevenly and the holder will be harder to control throughout the pass.
