Die Stock steel 130 x 36 mm | VÖLKEL
Die Stock steel 130 x 36 mm
Use this die when you need an external thread for assemblies, fixtures, or repair work in mechanical engineering and plant service.
Selection depends on thread designation, workpiece material, and how you start and guide the die on the outside diameter.
- Create or restore outside threads on cylindrical workpieces in maintenance and fabrication.
- Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
- Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition
- Use stable workholding, because movement during the start often causes oversize threads.
Note Use cutting fluid suitable for the work material and keep the tool aligned during the first turns.
- Creates or restores external threads without complex setup
- Supports repair of studs and shafts for reuse
- Straightforward handling with die stock or holder
- Useful for fitting work and maintenance rework
Drawbacks
- Sensitive to misalignment, especially during the first turns
- Practical speed is limited by manual handling and by access conditions at the workpiece
- Prepare the workpiece end with a lead in chamfer and remove burrs.
- Clamp the workpiece and align the die square to the outside diameter.
- Apply cutting fluid suitable for the work material.
- Start the die with steady pressure and maintain straight guidance.
- Advance with consistent turns and clear chips from the cutting area as needed.
- Reverse to remove the die and clean the thread flanks after cutting.

- How do you select the correct thread designation for this product
- Match the thread designation in the product name to the mating fastener or component standard, then confirm that your workpiece material and process setup suit the tool type. If you work with mixed standards, separate your tooling by thread family to avoid mix ups.
- What holder or drive concept do you need
- Use a holder that clamps the tool concentrically and supports straight alignment to the workpiece axis. For manual work, choose a stable hand drive that lets you feel torque changes. For machine use, verify reverse capability and consistent feed.
- Which hole preparation checks matter most
- Prepare the entry edge, remove burrs, and keep the hole clean so the tool starts straight. In blind holes, confirm that there is enough depth for the tool lead and chip space. In through holes, support chip evacuation out of the exit side.
- How do you reduce the risk of misalignment
- Start the tool with the axis visually aligned, then guide it through the first turns with low torque. Use stable workholding and avoid side load. If a thread feels tight early, remove the tool, clean chips, and inspect the entry.
- Can you use this in repair work
- Yes, for many workshop repairs you can use the tool to restore a usable thread when the base material is still intact. Clean damage first and avoid forcing, since distorted threads can increase torque and edge wear. For heavily stripped threads, a thread repair insert system can be the better option.
