VÖLKEL Round Die BS 1127; 1950 (o/d 1.5/16) HSS – UNF 9/16 x 18 | Precision External Thread Cutting Tool

VÖLKEL Round Die BS 1127; 1950 (o/d 1.5/16) HSS – UNF 9/16 x 18

The VÖLKEL Round Die UNF 9/16 x 18 made of high-speed steel (HSS) is designed for precision external thread cutting in workshop and assembly operations. It ensures a clean thread start, reliable chip formation, and dimensional accuracy – ideal for maintenance, repair, and small batch production.

Application & Advantages

  • For general use
  • For machinable, non-abrasive materials up to 800 N/mm²
  • Unalloyed and low-alloy steels

Advantages:

  • Accurate UNF external thread according to ANSI B 1.1
  • HSS design ensures long tool life and cutting stability
  • Optimized chip breaking using forward/backward cutting motion
  • Fits die holders with o/d 1.5/16
  • Technical Information (PDF)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preparation: Machine workpiece to core diameter, add a 30–45° chamfer, and clamp securely.
  2. Alignment: Place the die (o/d 1.5/16) flat and centered in the die holder, cutting side facing forward.
  3. Cutting: Apply cutting oil; rotate approximately 1 turn forward and 1/4 turn backward to break the chip, maintaining a perpendicular position.
  4. Finishing: Cut to the desired thread length, reverse the die, and remove chips.
  5. Check: Verify with a matching UNF nut or gauge; clean the thread surface.
