Cle-line C65281 Round Threading Die 3/8-24 Unf 2 Inch Od

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65281 is a round threading die designed to cut 3/8-24 UNF external threads on rod, pipe, or fastener stock. It measures 2 inches in outside diameter and 5/8 inch thick, and is machined from carbon steel for reliable performance in shop and field threading applications. The adjustable design allows the cutting depth to be fine-tuned for thread fit and finish. Right-hand thread direction is standard. This die is a Series 0610 tool suitable for use in matching round die stocks and holders.

The C65281 is used in metalworking, maintenance, and mechanical assembly applications where 3/8-24 UNF threaded fasteners or fittings need to be cut from unthreaded stock. It is commonly used by machinists, pipefitters, mechanics, and maintenance technicians. The 2-inch OD format fits standard round die stocks that accept this diameter, making it compatible with typical bench and hand-held threading setups. Typical applications include threading bolts, studs, and precision shafts to UNF specifications.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and secured in a matching round die stock before use. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured in a vise and the stock material diameter matches the nominal thread size before cutting. Apply cutting oil liberally during threading to extend die life and improve thread quality. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges are damaged.
