This zinc die cast die stock is used to clamp and turn a round die in manual external threading work. The decisive selection point is the holder size 45 x 18, because the die must sit securely in the holder before cutting starts.
The holder itself does not cut the thread; the cutting work is done by the correctly selected round die. Check holder size, die seating, workpiece alignment, and the external thread specification before use in industrial service, mechanical engineering, plant maintenance, and small batch work.
- holding a matching round die for manual external thread cutting or reworking
- guiding the die square to the workpiece axis during controlled hand operation
- workshop and maintenance tasks where a machine holder is not required
- selection by holder size 45 x 18 and the matching round die outside diameter
Note The die stock must match the round die size; do not infer compatibility from thread size alone.
- zinc die cast holder construction gives a defined manual driving body for compatible round dies
- holder size 45 x 18 supports clear selection against the round die outside diameter
- manual operation helps you control entry alignment during external thread repair or cleaning
- separate holder concept lets you change the cutting die while keeping the same holder size where compatible
Drawbacks
- The holder only works with a matching die diameter; use Threading tools to select the correct die family separately.
- Confirm that the round die outside diameter matches the die stock size.
- Clean the holder seat and the die before clamping.
- Place the round die in the holder with the marking visible for control.
- Tighten the clamping screws evenly so the die is held securely.
- Align the die stock square to the workpiece axis before cutting starts.
- Turn with steady pressure and maintain straight guidance through the operation.
- Remove the die after use and clean holder and die before storage.

- Does this holder cut the external thread by itself?
- No. The die stock holds and drives the round die; the round die performs the cutting operation.
- What is the main selection criterion?
- Select by the holder size 45 x 18 and compare it with the outside diameter of the round die.
- Can the same holder be used for every round die?
- No. A holder can only be used when the die outside diameter matches the holder size.
- What should be checked before clamping the die?
- Check that the die seat is clean, the die sits flat, and the clamping screws hold the die without tilting it.
- How do you keep the external thread straight?
- Start with the die square to the workpiece axis and maintain even manual pressure while turning.
- Where can you find the matching VÖLKEL threading tool catalog?
- Use the VD 23 catalog as PDF.
