Split dies, often referred to as circular split dies or button dies, are essential tools for any workshop focused on precision metalwork. These High-Speed Steel (HSS) dies are specifically designed to cut or clean external threads on bolts, studs, and rods. The split feature is crucial; it allows for slight adjustments via a screw in the die stock, giving you the flexibility to achieve a perfect fit or to compensate for slight variations in material diameter.
In this collection, you will find a range of BSW (British Standard Whitworth) split dies in various outer diameters, from 1 inch up to 2 inches. Using HSS ensures that these tools maintain a sharp cutting edge even under the heat and friction of repetitive use, making them far superior to carbon steel alternatives for professional applications. Whether you are restoring a classic vehicle or working on heavy industrial machinery, having the right die ensures a clean, accurate thread every time.
