About Coventry Die Head Chasers
Product features- Rugged - simple construction for reliability and long life.
- Compactness - permitting use on machines with limited clearance.
- Accurate Pitch - due to the guiding action of the non-cutting portion of the die.
- Adjustability - providing fine regulation of finished diameter for 3a class threads.
- Clean and smooth threads - as the dies have cutting angles suited to the material being used.
- RH and LH thread - by only changing chasers.
- Parallel threads - due to the very efficient support of the dies in the Die head.
- Minimum downtime - for change of thread size, important for production economy on short to medium batch runs.
- Advantages of Coventry Chasers
- Coventry chasers are designed so that cutting takes place at the chamfer and the first full tooth. The other teeth are above centre height, so they act as a nut, ensuring accurate pitch.
Chaser features:
- Precision ground threads.
- Lip types to suit various materials.
- Four standard chamfer angles: 15, 20, 33 and 45 degrees.

With regular sharpening and proper handling, each set maintains consistent cutting force and accuracy. They are suitable for mechanical or manual engagement, meeting the needs of industrial distributors, exporters, manufacturers, and suppliers across India.
FAQ's of Coventry Die Head Chasers:
Q: How do I determine the correct Coventry Die Head Chaser set for my application?
A: Choose the chaser set based on your workpiece material, required thread profile (such as Metric, BSPT, or UNF), and die head size. It's important to match the chaser's specifications with your threading machine and the dimensions of the threads you need to cut.
Q: What materials can Coventry Die Head Chasers efficiently cut?
A: These chasers are designed for reliable threading in mild steel, stainless steel, brass, and various other metals, providing high cutting accuracy and durability across different industrial settings.
Q: When should Coventry Die Head Chasers be replaced or sharpened?
A: Replacement or sharpening depends on usage and the hardness of the materials processed. For best results, inspect the cutting edges periodically and sharpen chasers to ensure consistent thread quality and to extend tool life.
Q: Where can these chasers be used within an industrial setting?
A: Coventry Die Head Chasers are suitable for use with threading machines and lathes in manufacturing plants, workshops, and other industrial environments requiring accurate, high-volume threading operations.
Q: What is the typical configuration and mounting process for these chasers?
A: Coventry chasers are supplied as a set of four and are mounted directly into compatible Coventry die heads. Their design ensures quick interchangeability and secure fitting for both automatic and manual threading operations.
Q: How does the uncoated finish affect the performance of Coventry Die Head Chasers?
A: The standard ground and polished finish provides low friction during threading. While most sets are uncoated, special finishes can be provided for specific applications to further enhance tool performance or lifespan.
Q: What are the main benefits of using Coventry Die Head Chasers in industrial threading?
A: These chasers deliver precise, repeatable thread patterns, high cutting speeds, and easy maintenance. Their compatibility with various thread profiles and materials makes them a practical choice for manufacturers, exporters, and suppliers seeking consistent quality and productivity.
