Benefit from a robust combination of high-speed steel construction, DIN-compliant geometry and a precise 6g tolerance for dependable left-hand thread cutting; order the tool directly via Metav Werkzeuge or consult our specialists for application advice.

TECWERK Round Die M16 x 2 mm, HSS, Left-hand (Form B)

The TECWERK round die M16×2 mm HSS 6g left-hand is a Form B external-threading tool designed for metric ISO threads, suitable for workshop and industrial use where reverse threads are required.

*HSS for durable cutting performance
*DIN EN 22568 compliant geometry
*Left-hand cutting for reverse threads
*Tolerance 6g for ISO metric precision

Reliable results for reverse-thread applications

The die is produced from HSS, offering a good balance of toughness and wear resistance for repetitive external-thread cutting. Its M16×2 mm nominal pitch and 6g tolerance deliver predictable fitting behaviour with ISO-standard nuts and components, reducing rework and assembly time. Where reverse threads are specified, the left-hand cutting orientation ensures the correct helix direction without retooling.

Closed Form B design improves thread quality

Built to Form B with a closed, pre-slotted profile, the tool maintains concentricity while allowing chip control during manual or machine-driven threading. The pre-slotted construction eases chip evacuation compared with fully solid dies, and the Form B section supports consistent flank geometry, which translates into clean thread forms and fewer rejects in serial production.

Engineered for common steel applications

Specified for use on steels up to approximately 800 N/mm² tensile strength, the die is suited to a wide range of engineering steels encountered in maintenance and fabrication. The high-speed steel composition tolerates intermittent high cutting forces and retains cutting edge integrity, making the tool a sound choice for repair work and smaller batch production where cost-effective durability matters.

Standards, handling and integration

Conforming to DIN EN 22568 and compatible with metric ISO thread standards (DIN 13), the tool integrates easily into existing tooling sets. The compact height 18 mm allows use in standard die stocks and holders. For longevity, maintain sharp cutting edges, keep the tool clean of chips and lubricate appropriately during use to preserve thread accuracy and surface finish.

FAQ

What materials can this die machine external threads in?
The TECWERK round die is designed for use on steels up to about 800 N/mm² tensile strength and performs well on common engineering steels within that range.

Is the die suitable for hand-held die stock use?
Yes, the Form B design and 18 mm height make the die compatible with standard die stocks for manual threading tasks.

What does the 6g tolerance mean in practice?
Tolerance 6g specifies the external thread tolerance class for metric ISO threads, ensuring the produced male thread mates reliably with standard female components.

Can this tool produce left-hand threads on shafts and studs?
The left-hand cutting configuration is intended specifically for producing reverse or left-hand external threads without altering machining direction.

Which standards does the tool comply with?
The die is manufactured to DIN EN 22568 and corresponds to metric ISO thread specifications under DIN 13.
