VÖLKEL Round Die BS 1127:1950 (o/d 1″) HSS - M 5 x 0.8

The VÖLKEL round die BS 1127:1950 is a precision-ground cutting tool made from durable HSS. With an outer diameter of 1 inch (25.4 mm) and Form A (open split), it provides fine adjustability for precise thread fits. Designed for general workshop use, maintenance, and production, it’s ideal for cutting or restoring external metric threads on unalloyed and low-alloy steels up to 800 N/mm².

Application & Benefits

  • For external thread cutting and repair
  • Ideal for steels up to 800 N/mm²
  • Form A (open type) allows fine adjustment of thread tolerance
  • Precision-ground HSS ensures clean thread profiles and long life
  • 1″ diameter fits standard die holders
  • Perfect for rethreading, repair, and maintenance

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prepare: Measure the workpiece and chamfer the edge for easier thread start.
  2. Mount: Insert the die into the holder with the chamfered side facing forward and tighten securely.
  3. Align & Lubricate: Align square to the axis and apply cutting oil liberally.
  4. Cut: Rotate steadily clockwise without reversing; reapply lubricant as needed.
  5. Finish: Remove the die, clean the thread, and test fit with a nut or gauge.
