Round Die DIN 223 (DIN EN 22568) HSS - M 5.5 x 0.5 | VÖLKEL
Round Die DIN 223 (DIN EN 22568) HSS - M 5.5 x 0.5
You restore or create external threads with a round die when machine access is limited. The result depends on correct preparation, alignment, and lubrication.
Select the die by the thread designation and standard stated in the product name, then use a suitable die holder to keep the tool square. Use cutting fluid matched to your material and clear chips to protect the thread profile.
- Cut external threads on rods, bolts, and studs in repair, prototyping, and small batch work.
- Use with a round die holder or die stock to keep the die square to the workpiece axis.
- Apply cutting fluid matched to your material to reduce friction and protect the thread profile.
- Process: manual driving or assisted driving depending on your holder and machine setup.
- Use: thread cutting, re tapping, and thread cleaning depending on condition.
Note Confirm thread system, pitch, and fit requirement before cutting. Prepare the workpiece with a clean lead in chamfer.
- Supports repeatable thread cutting in small batches with minimal setup.
- Good access in confined work areas compared with larger machines.
- Easy to clean and store as an individual tool.
- Works well for service tasks when the correct preparation is in place.
Drawbacks
- Performance is limited in very hard or abrasive materials unless a suitable die execution is selected.
- Cycle time is limited for high volume production compared with dedicated machine processes.
- Inspect the workpiece and ensure there is a clean lead in chamfer at the thread start.
- Select a round die holder and clamp the die securely before you approach the workpiece.
- Apply cutting fluid to the workpiece area and to the die entry side.
- Align the die square to the workpiece axis and start cutting with steady forward pressure.
- Turn the die forward to advance the thread while maintaining alignment.
- Reverse briefly at intervals to clear chips from the cutting edges.
- Continue until the required thread length is reached and then stop the forward feed.
- Back the die off the workpiece and remove it from the holder.
- Clean the die and verify the thread fit with a matching part or a suitable gauge.

- How do you select the correct die for your thread?
- Match the thread designation in the product name to your required external thread and ensure the mating nut or component uses the same system and pitch.
- Which holder should you use for a round die?
- Use a round die holder or die stock that clamps the die securely and supports square alignment to the workpiece axis.
- Which workpiece preparation is important before cutting an external thread?
- Prepare a clean lead in chamfer and ensure the workpiece surface is free of scale and burrs so the die can start square and cut cleanly.
- How do you manage chips during external thread cutting?
- Use suitable cutting fluid and clear chips regularly during the operation so chips do not score the new thread surface.
