Irwin 12435 Round Die Stock 1-1/2 in Od 12 in Length

Product Description

The IRWIN 12435 is a round die stock designed to hold and drive round threading dies during manual thread-cutting operations. It accommodates round dies with a 1-1/2 inch outside diameter and provides a 12 inch overall length for leverage and control during use. The die stock is a hand tool used by machinists, plumbers, and pipefitters to cut external threads on rod, bolt stock, or pipe. Its straightforward design allows the operator to seat a compatible round die securely and apply even rotational force without slipping or misalignment.

This die stock is suited for bench work, field threading, and maintenance applications where manual thread cutting is required. It is commonly used in plumbing, mechanical, and general fabrication settings when threading metal rod or pipe to a specific standard. The 12 inch handle length provides the mechanical advantage needed for clean, controlled thread starts on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• Accepts round dies with a 1-1/2 inch outside diameter
• 12 inch overall length provides leverage for controlled thread cutting

Compatibility

Designed for use with round threading dies measuring 1-1/2 inch outside diameter. Verify die OD before purchase to confirm fit.

Installation Notes

Die stocks are used by hand and require no power source. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before threading to prevent movement. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Back the die stock off periodically during threading to clear chips and prevent binding.
