Cle-line C65269 Round Die 5/16-18 Unc 2 Inch Od Carbon Steel

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65269 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on bolts, rods, and fasteners. Built from carbon steel, this die cuts 5/16-18 UNC right-hand threads and features an adjustable design that allows the cutting diameter to be fine-tuned for thread fit and tolerance control. The 2-inch outside diameter fits standard die stocks and holders sized for 2-inch round dies. At 5/8 inch thick, it provides enough tool engagement for clean, consistent thread formation. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this die for both new thread cutting and chasing damaged threads on existing hardware.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, threaded rod stock, and similar materials in shop, field, and maintenance environments. The 5/16-18 UNC thread specification is one of the most common Unified National Coarse fastener sizes, making this die a practical addition to any threading set used in general metalworking, mechanical assembly, or equipment repair. The right-hand thread direction matches the standard fastener convention used in most North American applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a compatible die stock or holder. Secure the die firmly in the holder using the set screws, aligning the adjustment screw with the die slot before locking down. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece before and during threading to reduce heat and extend die life. Inspect the workpiece diameter against thread tolerance charts for 5/16-18 UNC before cutting to ensure proper thread engagement.
