VÖLKEL Round Die M 56 x 5.5 HSS – Precision for Demanding Threads
Are you working in metal processing, mechanical engineering, plant
construction, or as an industrial or precision mechanic, and you need an
absolutely reliable tool for manufacturing or repairing metric external
threads? Then the VÖLKEL Round Die M 56 x 5.5 made of High-Performance High-Speed
Steel (HSS) is exactly what you need. This die is the first choice when it
comes to large thread dimensions and maximum precision.
Application:
- for general use
- easily machinable materials up to 800 N/mm²
- unalloyed and low-alloy steels
This special tool is a round die according to DIN 223 (DIN EN
22568), made of robust HSS-G. It is used to cut precise metric
external threads (M 56 x 5.5) on bolts, rods, or other
workpieces. The impressive size of M 56 x 5.5 makes it ideal for
applications where standard dimensions are not sufficient and
strong, load-bearing threaded connections are required.
Are you a professional who values quality, durability, and
repeatability? Then this die is indispensable for you, especially
if you:
-
Work in heavy machinery and plant construction and need to
produce large threaded connections.
-
Are involved in repair and maintenance and need to repair or
re-cut specific, even non-standardized threads.
-
Work in special manufacturing or prototype development, where
customized solutions are required.
-
Are looking for a tool that maintains its precision even
under higher loads and frequent use.
The VÖLKEL die solves the problem of reliable and precise thread
production for large metric dimensions. With threads of this
dimension, tolerances are critical, and an inaccurate tool can
lead to costly errors and component failures. With this die, you
ensure that your threads precisely comply with the required
tolerance class 6g, which guarantees a perfect fit and high
load-bearing capacity of the connection. It allows you to cut
flawless threads quickly and efficiently, saving time and
material.
There are many dies on the market, but this VÖLKEL model stands
out due to the following features that offer you direct
benefits:
-
Highest precision through HSS-G material:
Made from High-Performance High-Speed Steel (HSS-G), this
die offers excellent cutting edge retention and toughness.
This means for you: clean cutting edges, precise thread
flanks, and a long tool life.
-
Optimal for demanding materials: It is
specifically designed for general use and is excellently
suited for easily machinable materials up to 800 N/mm²,
including unalloyed and low-alloy steels. So you can be sure
that it handles the most common materials in your work area.
-
Durability that pays off: Thanks to the
high-quality HSS-G material and precise manufacturing
according to DIN 223 (DIN EN 22568), you benefit from
excellent tool life. This means fewer tool changes, lower
costs, and more efficient work for you. Despite the higher
purchase price of €425 net, this investment quickly pays
for itself through its long-term performance and reduced
rework.
-
Standard-compliant quality: Compliance with
DIN 13 for metric ISO threads and DIN 223 for dies
guarantees you a reliable and globally compatible thread
form. The 6g tolerance ensures a standard fit for general
applications.
-
Trust in a traditional brand: VÖLKEL stands
for decades of experience and expertise in thread tool
manufacturing. With this die, you acquire a product you can
rely on.
To unleash the full potential of your VÖLKEL die and maximize
its lifespan, we recommend the following accessories:
- Die stock: A suitable die stock ensures
secure fixation of the die and optimal power transmission
during the cutting process.
- High-quality cutting oil: The use of a
special cutting oil reduces friction, dissipates heat, and
improves chip evacuation. The result is not only cleaner
threads but also a significantly longer lifespan for your
die.

1. Can I also use this die for stainless steel?This HSS-G die is primarily designed for easily machinable
unalloyed and low-alloy steels up to 800 N/mm². For high-alloy
steels or stainless steels, we recommend special dies with
coating or made of PM-HSS-E, as these materials have higher
hardness and toughness, and otherwise the die will wear out too
quickly.2. Which die stock do I need for this size?For a die with an outer diameter of 105 mm, you need a
corresponding die stock for large diameters. Make sure the stock
can securely accommodate the nominal size of 105 mm. We offer
suitable holders in our assortment; feel free to contact us!3. What does tolerance class 6g mean?Tolerance class 6g for metric threads is a common and universal
fit for general applications. "g" stands for a slightly smaller
thread flank of the external thread, which allows for easy
assembly and a good fit. It is the standard tolerance for most
screws and nuts.4. How do I maintain my die to ensure it lasts a long time?After each use, you should thoroughly clean the die of chips
and residues. Regular application of cutting oil during use is
essential. Store the die dry and protected to prevent corrosion
and damage to the cutting edges. This ensures maximum lifespan.
