REMS Amigo Electric die stock with quick-change die heads

REMS Amigo Electric Die Stock, originating from Germany, stands out as a powerful, user-friendly threading machine designed for threading applications. This machine tool boasts a distinctive support bracket that enables its operation without the need for a vice, making it an ideal choice for repair, renovation, and job site tasks. It is capable of handling pipe threads ranging from ⅛ to 1¼ inches (16 – 40 mm) and bolt threads from 6 to 30 mm (¼ to 1 inch), showcasing its versatility in various sizes.

The REMS Amigo is celebrated for being the smallest, lightest, strongest, and fastest electric die stock in its class up to 1¼ inches. A notable system advantage of this tool is its uniformity in quick-change die heads and dies, applicable for all REMS die stocks. This uniformity simplifies and streamlines stocking processes, eliminating potential confusion.

Its support bracket is another feature worth mentioning. Designed for solidity and ease of use, it effectively supports the die stock against torque from both directions. The tool’s secure clamping is achieved through an angular clamping spindle that benefits from a self-supporting effect, facilitating the simple mounting of the die stock onto both the support bracket and the pipe.

In terms of design, the REMS Amigo is compact, robust, and proven in job site conditions. It can operate independently of a vice and is specifically shaped for use in confined spaces. The drive unit’s weight is only 3.5 kg (excluding the die head), which promotes single-hand operation. The tool ensures perfect, secure seating for quick-change die heads.

The drive mechanism of the REMS Amigo features a solid, compact, maintenance-free gear. It incorporates a robust, powerful 1200 W universal motor, capable of a 30% power increase through automatic carbon brush adjustment when changing rotation direction. This motor can reach a peak power input of up to 1800 W, with threading speeds ranging from 35 to 27 rpm, and includes a safety tip switch.

The quick-change die heads of the REMS Amigo utilize proven technology, high-grade materials, and precise machining. This combination ensures excellent start-cutting performance and easy threading, without stalling. Long, precise pipe guidance contributes to perfect pipe centering, while the design of the chip holes facilitates efficient chip flow and clean threads.
