Far-reaching experience in the range of special threads
High-tech Carbide Thread Cutting Dies
alternative carbide-tipped (brazed)
These cutting dies have been tried and tested for cutting speeds up to 100 m/min. We will gladly carry out trials with still higher cutting speeds where machines have the requisite capability. The far greater tool lives and cutting speeds were achieved with dry machining, t hereby facilitating the recycling of the chips produced. These dies are mostly used for working brass, gun metal and bronze.
JBO solid carbide dies are equipped with a thread relief grinding. Thereby the cutting torque is reduced and the tendency to cold weld is eliminated. The durability is 15 to 30 times higher than with a HSS-cutting die. They are therefore out standingly cost effective. We manufacture carbide thread cutting dies in solid carbide version or alternative carbide-tipped (brazed) for threads from approx. 16 mm dia. upwards and for pitches from 1 to 2.5 mm or 11 to 24 tpi to DIN EN specifications. Bell form type dies and special size dies to suit customer requirements can also be supplied. Carbide cutting dies for G-thread see page 181 and for R-threads see page 189.

Examples from the valve industry
Machining of gunmetal with a JBO solid carbide cutting tool:
G 3/4": 260 000 parts (one tool reground three times).
M 22 x 1: 780 000 parts (one tool reground five times).
