BARKAN M18 DIN 22568 6g HSSE INOX Round Threading Die

Where standard carbon-steel dies wear quickly on stainless steel, this BARKAN M18 round die holds its edge thanks to cobalt-alloyed HSSE steel and a precision-ground thread profile. The 6g tolerance class ensures a reliable fit on metric fasteners, while the bright finish and four flutes keep chips moving and the tool cutting cleanly.

Highlights

• Metric M18 × 2.5 mm thread, right-hand cutting direction
• HSSE (high-speed steel with cobalt) for high heat and wear resistance
• Ground threads to DIN 22568 with 6g tolerance class
• Four flutes for efficient chip removal and reduced clogging
• Bright finish for corrosion resistance and easy inspection
• Outer diameter 45 mm, thickness 14 mm – fits standard round die stocks

In daily use

Mount the die in a suitable round die stock and apply a quality cutting fluid when working on stainless steel. The 60° ISO metric profile produces threads that mate reliably with M18 bolts and nuts. The cobalt-enriched HSSE substrate retains hardness at elevated temperatures, making it a dependable choice for maintenance, repair, and small-batch production where stainless fasteners are common.
