Summary: Holding
dies for threading.
Die stocks are
hand tools used to hold and turn dies, which are cutting tools designed to
create external screw threads on rods or pipes. They provide the leverage and
control needed to rotate the die evenly and accurately, forming the threads.
Function: Die stocks securely hold the die in place and provide handles that allow the user to apply the necessary torque to cut the threads.
Design: They
typically consist of:
* A frame or body that holds the die.
* Handles that extend from the frame to
provide leverage.
* Screws or other mechanisms to clamp the
die in place.
Use: Die
stocks are used in metalworking and plumbing to create threads on materials
like steel, brass, and pipe, allowing for the connection of pipes, bolts, and
other threaded components.
In essence, die stocks are the tools that enable the manual creation of external threads, a fundamental process in many industries.
