Cle-line C65580 Hex Rethreading Die M5x0.8 Metric Coarse

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65580 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads without cutting new material. It fits standard hex die holders and turns onto a compromised fastener or stud to clean and re-form the thread profile back to spec. At 0.25 inches thick and machined from carbon steel, this die handles M5x0.8 metric coarse threads with a right-hand rotation. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, and general maintenance mechanics reach for rethreading dies when a bolt, stud, or fitting thread is too damaged for a fastener to seat properly but the base material is still salvageable.

This die is suited for field repair and shop bench work on metric-threaded fasteners, studs, and fittings. The M5x0.8 size is a common metric coarse pitch found on small machine screws, panel hardware, electrical enclosure studs, and light mechanical assemblies. It is part of the CLE-LINE 0650M series, which covers a range of metric rethreading dies built to the same hex geometry for consistent holder compatibility. Both trade professionals and maintenance technicians working on metric equipment will find this size useful for routine thread restoration tasks.

Key Features

• M5x0.8 metric coarse thread profile restores standard fastener engagement
• Right-hand thread direction for conventional clockwise fastener rotation
• Carbon steel construction provides adequate hardness for thread restoration on steel and softer base materials
• 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) thickness fits standard hex die stocks in the corresponding size range
• Hex outer geometry allows use with common die holders and wrenches
• Part of the 0650M series for consistent cross-compatibility within the die set family

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rethreading die for use with standard hex die holders sized for this die geometry, suitable for M5x0.8 metric coarse thread restoration applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed mechanic or qualified tradesperson should select the correct die size before starting to avoid further thread damage. De-energize or depressurize the assembly and secure the workpiece before applying the die. Use a suitable cutting or tapping fluid when threading onto steel to reduce heat and extend die life. Turn the die onto the fastener or stud slowly with steady pressure, backing off periodically to clear debris.
