To cut a thread on a steel round bar manually using a die, a die holder with handles is used. But even in this case, it is far from always possible to cut the thread exactly - a slight bias is obtained.
To avoid this, you can make a convenient guide for the die holder with your own hands. To do this, you need 3 aluminum bars of small sizes (two short, one long), as well as a pair of bolts with nuts.
And first of all, it will be necessary to drill through holes along the edges of the "holder" of the die holder itself. Long bolts will then be inserted into these holes.
Guide manufacturing process
The next step is to cut three aluminum bars: two short and one long. And then through them you need to drill through holes of the same diameter as on the die holder.
Then it remains only to assemble the guide and attach it to the die holder with the help of two long bolts and nuts. This completes the process of making homemade products. As you can see, there is nothing complicated.
