Round Die DIN 223 (DIN EN 22568) HSS - M 1.8 x 0.35

This die is the optimal choice for a wide range of applications. Its most important features that set it apart are:

• Standard DIN 223 (DIN EN 22568): This standard guarantees a standardized production with precise dimensions for reliable thread quality.
• HSS-G Material: High-Speed Steel (HSS) is robust and wear-resistant. The "-G" suffix stands for "ground," which provides a higher surface finish and cutting accuracy than milled dies.
• 6g Tolerance: This tolerance class is the international standard for metric threads. It ensures that the cut thread has a good fit with a standard nut (6H tolerance) and can be easily assembled.
• Application Range: Ideal for general use in machinable steels and other common metals.

To achieve optimal results, follow this simple guide:

1. Step 1: Prepare the workpiece. Choose a round rod with the correct outside diameter (1.8 mm). The end face should be chamfered to facilitate the cutting process.
2. Step 2: Prepare the tool. Clamp the die into a suitable die stock (handle). Make sure the cutting edges are clean and undamaged.
3. Step 3: Prepare lubrication. Apply a suitable cutting oil to the workpiece. This reduces friction, minimizes heat generation, and extends the die's service life.
4. Step 4: Cut the thread. Place the die perpendicularly onto the workpiece and turn it slowly with even pressure. Make sure you start the die straight to avoid a crooked thread.
5. Step 5: Clean. Once the thread is cut, carefully clean the workpiece and the die of any chips.

Q: What is the difference between a tap and a die?

A: A tap is used to cut internal threads into a hole (e.g., for a screw), while a die is used to cut external threads on a round rod or bolt.

Q: What does the "-G" suffix in HSS-G mean?

A: The "G" stands for ground. HSS-G tools are ground after processing, which gives them higher dimensional accuracy, a better surface finish, and higher cutting performance than unground tools.

Q: What does the 6g tolerance mean?

A: The 6g tolerance indicates the thread's fit. It's the standard tolerance for external threads and ensures that the threads fit well into a nut with the standard 6H tolerance, allowing for smooth assembly.

Q: Can I machine any metal with this die?

A: This die is designed for machinable materials up to 800 N/mm², such as unalloyed and low-alloyed steels. For harder or more abrasive materials, specialized dies with different material compositions are needed.

Q: How do I know the correct starting diameter for my rod?

A: The starting diameter of the rod should correspond to the nominal size of the die, which is 1.8 mm. To make cutting easier, the diameter can also be slightly smaller to facilitate a clean start.
