The die stock is a zinc die cast threading accessory for holding and guiding a round die sized 38 x 10 mm as stated in the product name. You use it during external thread cutting or thread reworking when the die must be clamped and driven by hand in a controlled setup. Select it by the die size stated in the product name and by the handling space available around the workpiece.
A die stock accessory does not define the thread itself, so the thread series and pitch come from the die and the workpiece specification. The practical check is mechanical fit, secure clamping, and enough clearance to rotate the holder without side load. Do not infer compatibility beyond the size and construction stated in the product name.
- Mount and guide a die related component with the stated size 38 x 10 mm during external thread cutting or rework.
- Use the accessory for manual workshop processes where the die must be held firmly and kept square to the workpiece axis.
- Select the holder by the stated size and the space available around the part.
- Check clamping before cutting so the die cannot tilt or move under torque.
- Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup
- Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition
Note Confirm the die or holder size before use and do not force a cutting die into a holder that does not seat correctly.
- The zinc die cast construction gives a defined holder material from the product data.
- The stated size 38 x 10 mm provides the main mechanical selection criterion.
- Manual handling supports repair and small batch work where powered threading equipment is not required.
- Secure clamping helps keep the die aligned during external thread work.
Drawbacks
- The accessory does not define thread compatibility, so the cutting die and thread data must be selected separately.
- Manual rotation requires enough clearance around the workpiece and becomes impractical in restricted spaces.
- Confirm that the die or holder component matches the stated size 38 x 10 mm.
- Clean the holder seat before inserting the die or holder component.
- Place the component into the holder without tilt.
- Tighten the clamping points evenly.
- Check that the die sits flat before starting the thread.
- Align the holder square to the workpiece axis.
- Apply suitable cutting lubricant to the workpiece thread area.
- Rotate the holder with steady hand force.
- Clean the holder after use and store it dry.

- What is the main selection criterion for this accessory?
- The main selection criterion is the stated holder size 38 x 10 mm, because the thread data comes from the die and the workpiece.
- Can this accessory define which thread you can cut?
- No. The cutting die defines the thread series and pitch, while this accessory supports holding, clamping, and manual guidance.
- How do you avoid tilting the die during use?
- Seat the die or holder component flat, tighten the clamping points evenly, and keep the holder square to the workpiece axis.
- Where is this accessory typically used?
- Use it in maintenance, repair workshops, and small batch metalworking where manual external thread work is practical.
- What should you check before ordering?
- Check the stated size 38 x 10 mm, the die or holder component you already use, and the available clearance around the workpiece.
- What is the practical limitation of manual die holding?
- Manual die holding depends on user alignment and available working space, so it is not a substitute for a rigid guided production setup.
