Drill America DWTSR112-5848 5/8"-48 x 1-1/2" OD HSS Round Adjustable Die

Threading die for 5/8"-48 threads

This High Speed Steel round adjustable die cuts external threads on a 5/8 inch diameter rod with a 48 pitch. The 1-1/2 inch outside diameter fits standard die stocks and machine holders. Chamfers on both faces allow starting threads and threading close to a shoulder. The adjustable screw changes the thread fit for different material or class requirements.

Suited for maintenance and repair threading

Mechanics and machinists who need to cut or chase 5/8"-48 threads on steel, stainless steel or tough alloys will benefit from the wear resistance of high speed steel. The adjustable design lets the user compensate for die wear or match a specific fit class. Users who require metric threads, pipe threads or a different diameter and pitch must select a different die.

Consistent wear life under repeated use

High speed steel retains hardness at the temperatures generated during sustained threading operations. The fine-pitch adjustment screw holds the selected setting without slipping during long cuts. Chamfered faces reduce the torque needed to start each pass, lowering heat buildup over multiple parts. The die can be re-adjusted as the cutting edges wear, extending service life.
