In daily use

This die is intended for cutting external threads on rods and shafts in general-purpose steels, non-ferrous metals, cast iron, and stainless steel. Its 80 mm outer diameter and 20 mm thickness provide a stable grip in die stocks or holders, while the four cutting edges distribute the load for cleaner threads.
