Application
Round Die DIN 223 (DIN EN 22568) HSS – BSF 3/16 x 32 | Precision External Thread Cutting

Round Die DIN 223 (DIN EN 22568) HSS – BSF 3/16 x 32

The Round HSS-G Die BSF 3/16 x 32 is designed for precise external thread cutting in workshop and assembly applications. It ensures an accurate thread start, clean chip formation, and high dimensional precision — ideal for repair, maintenance, and small batch production.

Application & Advantages

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

Advantages:

  • Accurate BSF external thread according to BS 84
  • Ground HSS-G for long tool life and smooth cutting performance
  • Chip breaking through “forward/backward” cutting technique
  • Compact design suitable for standard die holders
  • Technical Information (PDF)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Preparation: Machine the workpiece to core diameter, apply a 30–45° chamfer, and clamp securely.
  2. Alignment: Place the die flat and centered in the holder, with the cutting side facing forward.
  3. Cutting: Apply cutting oil; turn approx. one full rotation forward and ¼ back to break chips; maintain a perpendicular position.
  4. Finishing: Cut to the desired thread length, reverse the die, and remove chips.
  5. Inspection: Check with a matching BSF nut or gauge; clean the thread surface.
