Cle-line C65882 Round Die 9/16-18 Unf Hss Adjustable

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65882 is a round threading die designed for cutting external threads on bolts, studs, and round stock. Manufactured from high-speed steel, this die handles the heat and wear demands of production threading in metal fabrication and machine shop environments. It cuts a 9/16-18 UNF thread profile in the right-hand direction and measures 0.5 inches in thickness. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by compressing or opening the die split with a set screw, enabling a closer tolerance on finished threads. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die workers are the primary users of this type of die.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, alloy steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials in both bench and production settings. The 9/16-18 UNF specification makes it appropriate for fine-thread fastener applications common in automotive, aerospace, and general mechanical assembly work where finer thread pitch provides greater holding strength and vibration resistance compared to coarse-thread equivalents. It is used with a standard round die stock or die handle sized to accept the die outer diameter for Series 0710.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during continuous threading operations
• Adjustable split-die design allows fine-tuning of thread fit and tolerance
• Right-hand thread cutting for standard fastener applications
• 9/16-18 UNF thread specification for fine-pitch external threading
• 0.5-inch thickness fits standard round die stocks for Series 0710
• Designed for repeated use across metal fabrication and maintenance applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style round threading die for use with Series 0710 round die stocks that accept the corresponding die outer diameter. No additional specific compatible model numbers were provided in product documentation.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians using a matched round die stock or handle. Before threading, secure the workpiece firmly in a vise and apply cutting oil to both the die and stock to reduce friction and extend die life. Advance the die in short, controlled turns, backing off periodically to clear chips. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use, as a damaged cutting edge will produce out-of-tolerance threads.
