BSP Button Dies with Metric Outside Diameter (OD) are designed for cutting accurate British Standard Pipe (BSP) external threads on bolts, pipes, studs and threaded components. Manufactured from high-quality tool steel or HSS (depending on specification), these round button dies provide reliable thread cutting performance for engineering, plumbing, fabrication and maintenance applications. Available in a range of BSP sizes, they are suitable for creating new external threads, repairing damaged threads and maintaining accurate pipe thread connections. HSS APPLICATIONS General purpose threading tools used to cut standard external screw threads. Used for threading rods, bolts, studs or similar applications where external threads are required.
