Round Die WS - M 20 x 1.5

This die is ideal for general use in cutting metric ISO threads according to DIN 13 on materials with good machinability up to 900 N/mm², such as unalloyed or low-alloy steels. It can be used for both manual and machine applications.

• Thread Type: Metric ISO thread DIN 13
• Nominal Size: 20x1.5
• Packaging: In a plastic box
• Item Number: 18002
• EAN: 4022835180029

1. Step 1: Prepare the Pipe
   Saw the conduit pipe to the desired length and cleanly deburr the cut edge. The surface should be clean and free of contaminants.
2. Step 2: Clamp the Die
   Clamp the die firmly in a suitable die holder. Make sure it sits securely to ensure a clean thread.
3. Step 3: Cut the Thread
   Position the die at a right angle on the end of the pipe. Turn it clockwise with light, even pressure. Use cutting oil to reduce friction and extend the service life of the die.
4. Step 4: Check the Thread
   Turn the die back after the cut and remove it from the pipe. Clean the finished thread and check its quality.

Q: What is a die and what is it used for?

A: A die is a tool for cutting external threads, for example, on bolts, screws, or, in this case, conduit pipes. It cuts the thread in a single operation and ensures a precise shape.

Q: What does the designation M 20x1.5 mean?

A: The designation stands for a metric thread. M 20 indicates the external diameter of 20 mm, and 1.5 stands for the thread pitch (the distance between two thread crests) of 1.5 mm.

Q: What material is the die made of?

A: This die is made of high-quality tool steel (WS). This type of steel offers a good balance between hardness and toughness and is excellent for universal use.

Q: What is the DIN 13 standard?

A: DIN 13 is a German industry standard that specifies the requirements for metric ISO threads. Adherence to this standard ensures that the cut thread is compatible with other components that also comply with this standard.

Q: Do I need a special holder for this die?

A: Yes, a die must always be clamped in a suitable die holder, also known as a die stock. This holder provides the necessary stability and the correct cutting angle for the threading process.
