High-speed steel round dies are specialized tools designed for cutting, shaping or piercing metal sheets in the manufacturing of various hardware components. The PG13.5 x 18 size offers a balance between strength and sharpness, allowing users to achieve precise cuts with minimal effort or distortion on materials like brass, aluminum, copper, bronze, and mild steel up to 1/4 inches thick. Made from premium high-speed steel, this die ensures longevity and resilience while maintaining a sharp edge for clean cutting even when exposed to heat generated during press operations. The 0.630 inch overall length, 0.185 inch depth of cut, and compatible 0.964-inch shank ensure an ideal fit for most die sets or presses, making it an indispensable asset in workshops and production floors dealing with metalworking applications.
