Threading tool AWTools AW20248 — depth 280 mm, height 11 mm, weight 219 g

AWTools AW20248 is a threading tool intended for cutting or forming threads in metal components. Constructed from carbon alloy steel and aluminum, the tool features an overall depth of 280 mm, a profile height of 11 mm and a lightweight build of 219 g. The design accommodates rigid clamping of round thread dies and supports both closed and slotted dies in accordance with DIN 225 standards.

Advantages

The combination of carbon alloy steel and aluminum provides a balance between durability and reduced weight, making the tool easier to handle during repeated operations. Removable galvanized steel handles with knurled ends enhance grip and can be replaced when worn. An adjustable die mechanism secured by five screws allows fine adjustment of cutting pressure and alignment for accurate thread formation.

Suitable for

• Manual threading tasks on metal rods and pipes
• Machine-guided threading in light workshop applications
• On-site repair and maintenance work requiring portable tooling
• Threading with closed and slotted dies compliant with DIN 225

How to use

Select a compatible round thread die (closed or slotted) that matches the desired thread size and insert it into the die holder. Secure the die by tightening the five adjustment screws evenly to achieve rigid clamping and correct alignment. Fit the removable handles, ensuring the knurled ends are oriented for a secure grip. Position the tool on the workpiece and apply steady, controlled force while turning to cut or form the thread; use cutting lubricant as appropriate for the material. After use, clean metal shavings from the die and tool, and store handles and components to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, select a die size that matches the workpiece, and apply cutting fluid for cleaner threads and reduced tool wear. Periodically inspect the galvanized handles and adjustment screws for corrosion or loosening and replace removable parts if they show signs of excessive wear.
