Irwin 12445 Round Die Stock 2 Inch Die Compatibility

Product Description

The IRWIN 12445 is a round die stock designed to hold and drive round threading dies during manual thread-cutting operations. The tool accepts round dies with a 2-inch outside diameter, providing a secure grip that keeps the die square to the workpiece throughout the cut. At 19.5 inches overall length, the handles give the user sufficient leverage for cutting threads in steel, iron, aluminum, and other common trade materials. It is used by plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, and general maintenance trades who cut external threads in the field or at the bench.

This die stock is suited for threading rod, pipe, and bolt stock in both residential and commercial settings. The round die compatibility makes it a standard fit for threading operations where precision alignment and consistent torque application are required. The 19.5-inch handle span is well matched to hand-threading tasks that demand controlled force, reducing the chance of cross-threading on tight-tolerance work.

Installation Notes

Die stocks are operated by hand and do not require power tools. Secure the workpiece in a vise before threading to prevent movement. Insert the die squarely into the stock, tighten the retaining screws firmly before use, and apply cutting oil to the workpiece to extend die life and improve thread quality. Inspect the die and stock for wear or damage before each use.
