HSS Round Die Introduction

HSS round dies are round and usually have three or more cutting edges. They are either used for manual use of die holders or clamped into the quill to use in a turning lathe. The chips are discharged through the plane holes in round dies.

Round dies are used for thread processing to make external threads, such as cutting new threads or repairing old ones, also known as hexagonal dies and HSS round dies.
