Drill America 3/4-11-1/2 2OD High Speed Steel NGH Garden Hose Round Die, DWT Series

A round, adjustable die is the preferred choice for improved wear life. These dies feature a chamfered design on both faces. One side has a 2 to 3 thread chamfer, which facilitates threading, while the other side has a 1 to 1-1/2 thread chamfer, allowing for threading close to a shoulder.

Adjustment of the die is achieved through a fine-pitch screw mechanism. This screw forces the sides of the die apart or allows them to spring back together, enabling precise control over the die's opening. The slot in the die is beveled, which proves advantageous when used in a machine holder. This design allows the adjusting screw to be removed, with further adjustments made directly through the screws in the holder.

The specific size of this round, adjustable die is 3/4"-11-1/2, with a 2-inch outside diameter and a right-hand thread. This configuration makes it suitable for creating new threads or re-threading existing threads, such as those found on garden hoses.

The advantages of this round, adjustable die design are numerous. The chamfered faces allow for easier threading, while the fine-pitch screw mechanism provides the user with precise control over the die's opening. This, in turn, leads to improved wear life and the ability to handle a wider range of threading applications.

Furthermore, the beveled slot design enhances the die's versatility, as it can be used in machine holders with the adjusting screw removed. This feature simplifies the adjustment process and makes the die more accessible for various threading tasks.

Overall, this round, adjustable die represents a well-designed and practical tool for a variety of threading needs. Its combination of features, including the chamfered faces, fine-pitch adjustment, and adaptability to machine holders, make it a valuable addition to any workshop or toolbox. Whether creating new threads or re-threading existing ones, this die offers the user improved performance and extended wear life.
