Gewindewürfelform

Gewindewürfelform refers to a specific type of die used in metalworking for cutting external screw threads. Literally translating to "thread die cube," it describes a hardened steel block, typically square or hexagonal in shape, with a precisely machined hole. This hole contains cutting edges that form the desired thread profile as the die is rotated and advanced along a workpiece, usually a rod or bolt blank. The form of the die allows for the creation of threads on pre-existing stock, as opposed to forming threads by rolling. The material of the die is crucial, requiring high hardness and wear resistance to withstand the cutting action and maintain accuracy over time. Gewindewürfelform are commonly found in tap and die sets and are essential for manual thread cutting operations. They come in various sizes and thread pitches to accommodate a wide range of applications in manufacturing, repair, and DIY projects. The shape of the die ensures a secure grip for a die stock, which is the tool used to hold and turn the die.
