Die Sharpening Services from Oster

As a leading expert in dies and die heads for industrial pipe threading machines, we are your best source for die resharpening services. Maintaining a die's integrity is critical to machine operation, leaving little room for error. Removing too much material or overheating a die can quickly lead to failure or destruction. At Oster, our qualified experts use proven grinding equipment to perform precision die-sharpening services.

Grinding the Rake

Oster performs grinding on die rake surfaces to resharpen dull thread teeth and preserve the bearing. Rake sharpening is especially important for taper thread dies, as their entire surface is used during operation, which leads to dullness. Precision is crucial, as overgrinding can harm the bearing and destroy the die’s functionality. Our expert grinding services emphasize removing only the absolute minimal amount of material.

Grinding the Throat

Sharp throat and throat relief angles are critical for bolt dies and other straight thread dies. Grinding the throat is a very delicate process, and the specialists at Oster use precision techniques and equipment to evenly grind only the necessary amount of material. This ensures easy functioning for bolt dies and an excellent finish for completed threads.

Removing Broken Teeth

While grinding is best for dull or worn surfaces, damaged or chipped teeth should be removed entirely. Removing broken teeth from a die is more cost-effective than replacing a die set, as your die can remain highly functional if removal is performed correctly. At Oster, we use specialized bonded wheels to grind broken die teeth to the root.
