Guides for round dies, Zinc die cast (set of 7 pcs.) M 3 – M 12

Our die guides are the ideal addition to your threading tool assortment and were specially developed to optimize manual threading. They bridge the precision gap between manual work and machine accuracy.

• Centered Application & Exact Alignment: Thanks to the guide, your die is aligned exactly axially with the smooth bolt. The result: straight-cut bolt threads without crooked starts - all without tedious alignment by eye or the need for complex machine setup. This minimizes the risk of failed attempts and damaged bolts or dies.
• Easy Handling & Quick Application: The die guide is fastened together with the die in the die holder. The handling remains intuitive and simple. The guide automatically aligns itself parallel to the bolt, so you can start threading immediately. Simon, our technician, demonstrates how fast and efficient the application is in a short YouTube video.
• Less Waste & Higher Productivity: Thanks to the precise guiding, you reduce failed attempts and increase your productivity. You get perfect threads - reproducible and efficient, even in applications where the highest accuracy is required.
• Optimal Chip Management: Our die guides made of die-cast zinc have integrated chip holes that ensure optimal chip removal. This prevents clogging and ensures a smooth cutting process.

Follow these simple instructions for perfect results:

1. Preparation: Make sure the bolt is smooth and clean.
2. Clamping: Fasten the die guide and the appropriate die together in the die holder.
3. Positioning: Place the guide on the bolt. It automatically aligns axially.
4. Cutting: Apply even pressure and turn the die holder clockwise. The guide keeps the tool straight.
5. Cleaning: The integrated chip holes ensure continuous chip removal. Nevertheless, be sure to use cutting oil if necessary to optimize the process.

1. What is the main advantage of the die guides?

The main advantage lies in the precise alignment of the die with the bolt. This prevents crooked starts, reduces waste, and allows you to cut straight threads without complex machine setup.

2. What material are the guides made of?

The die guides are made of robust die-cast zinc, which makes them durable and resistant.

3. Which thread sizes is the set suitable for?

This 7-piece set is designed for metric thread sizes from M3 to M12 and fits the corresponding DIN dies and die holders.

4. How do the chip holes work?

The chip holes are integrated into the guide and ensure that the chips created during cutting are optimally removed. This prevents the tool from clogging and ensures a smooth cutting process.

5. Can I also use the guides for imperial or other threads?

No, this specific set is designed for metric threads (M3-M12) according to DIN standards. For other thread types, such as imperial, separate dies and possibly other guides are required.
