RUKO SCE-DIN223-MF42x1.5mm Round Die, Metric Fine Thread M42 x 1.5 mm, HSS, DIN 223

Machinists and metalworkers use this round die to cut metric fine threads with a 1.5 mm pitch on M42 bolts and rods. It is suitable for manual threading with a die stock or for machine threading on a lathe or threading machine.

Key specifications

• Thread type: Metric fine (MF)
• Nominal thread diameter: M42
• Thread pitch: 1.5 mm
• Material: High speed steel (HSS)
• Standard: DIN 223
• Outer diameter: 65 mm
• Thickness: 20 mm
• Number of flutes: 4
• Cutting direction: Right-hand
• Thread tolerance: 6g
• Surface finish: Bright
• Application material: Unalloyed and low-alloyed steels, non-ferrous metals
• Manufacturing process: Ground thread

Why choose it

The die is made of high speed steel and has a ground thread, which provides clean cutting edges and a long tool life. The bright finish reduces friction during threading. The 6g tolerance produces threads that fit standard metric fine nuts and bolts.

Ideal use cases

• Cutting external metric fine threads on M42 bolts, studs, and shafts
• Repairing damaged threads on existing fasteners
• Creating custom threaded rods for machinery and fixtures
• Manual threading in maintenance and repair workshops
• Machine threading in production environments

Good to know

The die conforms to DIN 223, which specifies dimensions for round dies. It is part of the Völkel Standard Line and is made in Germany. The four flutes provide chip clearance and allow cutting fluid to reach the cutting edges.
