Summary: Cutting
external threads.
Dies are cutting
tools used to create external screw threads on rods, bolts, or pipes. They work
by cutting or forming a helical groove on the outside of a cylindrical
workpiece. Here's a more detailed explanation:
* **Function:**
Dies have cutting edges that remove material from the outside of a rod as the
die is rotated around it, creating the thread pattern.
* **Types:** Dies
come in various sizes and thread standards (e.g., metric, imperial) to match
the desired external thread. They can be solid dies, adjustable dies (for some
control over thread tightness), or die nuts (for chasing or cleaning up
existing threads).
* **Use:** Dies are essential in manufacturing and metalworking for producing threaded fasteners and other components that need to be screwed together.
