Cle-line C65966 Round Die 7/8-9 Unc 2 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The CLE-LINE C65966 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on fasteners, studs, and round stock. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), it handles the heat and wear generated during threading operations on steel, iron, and similar materials. The die cuts a 7/8-9 UNC right-hand thread and measures 2 inches in outside diameter with a 5/8-inch thickness. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for minor wear over the life of the die. Licensed machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics are the typical users of this tooling.

This die is suited for threading operations in industrial maintenance, fabrication shops, and field repair work. It fits standard 2-inch round die holders and die stocks sized for Series 0710 tooling. The 7/8-9 UNC thread specification makes it a common choice when cutting threads on 7/8-inch fastener bodies and threaded rod used in structural and mechanical assembly applications. Both bench-top threading setups and portable die stocks are compatible with this die size.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced tradesperson should seat the die squarely in a properly sized die stock before beginning the threading operation. Ensure the workpiece is secured in a vise or fixture to prevent movement. Apply cutting oil generously to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Inspect the die for cracks or chipped cutting edges before each use and replace if damaged.
