Round Die for brass DIN 223 (DIN EN 22568) HSS - M 18 x 1.25

• optimized for machining brass
• for short-chipping bronze
• also for short-chipping materials up to 800 N/mm²

Note Select the die by the finished external thread and use it only with a holder that supports the die shape and size.

• light cutting action
• free chip flow towards the front
• reduced clogging of chip holes

• The MS execution is not the best default for tough long-chipping materials, so choose a tougher die execution where the workpiece material requires it.

1. Confirm that the required external thread is M 18 x 1.25 before selecting the die.
2. Choose a holder that matches the die shape and size.
3. Prepare the bolt, stud, or shaft with a clean start chamfer.
4. Apply cutting fluid that fits the workpiece material and process.
5. Place the die square to the workpiece axis before turning.
6. Cut or rework the thread with controlled pressure and steady alignment.
7. Reverse carefully when needed to clear chips from the cutting area.
8. Clean the finished external thread before assembly.
9. Check the thread with a matching nut, gauge, or inspection process where required.
