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 25x1.5 mean?
A: The designation stands for a metric thread. M 25 indicates the external diameter of 25 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.
