More info

The SKC Round Die Handle (also known as a Round Die Stock) is the companion tool to round threading dies. While the SKC 823 you mentioned earlier is for taps (internal threads), the S-824 / S-1952 series is specifically for dies (external threads).

Sizing and Specifications

The model numbers you see (like S-1952) refer to the Outside Diameter (O.D.) of the round die the handle can hold. Since round dies come in standard diameters, you must match the handle to the die size.

SKC Model No.	Fits Die O.D. (Inch)	Fits Die O.D. (Metric)	Overall Length
S-1951	13/16"	20 mm	190 mm
S-1952	1"	25 mm	185 mm
S-1954	1-5/16"	33 mm	305 mm
S-1955	1-1/2"	38 mm	305 mm
S-1958	2"	50 mm	390 mm

Note: The 824 designation is often used in Malaysia as a general series category for these "Made in Japan" cast-iron body handles.

How it relates to your 1/2" Pipe project

If you are using this handle for your plumbing work, it is usually for one of two reasons:

Cleaning External Threads: If the threads on a 1/2" pipe are damaged, you would place a 1/2" BSP Round Die into an S-1955 (1-1/2" O.D.) handle to re-cut or clean them.
Creating New Threads: If you have cut a new section of pipe and need to thread the end.

Key Features

Three-Screw Locking: Most SKC handles feature three set-screws. The center screw aligns with the "split" in an adjustable die to expand it, while the two side screws lock the die firmly in place.
Cast Iron Body: Provides the weight and rigidity needed to keep the die perfectly perpendicular to the pipe, ensuring straight threads.
