Osg 2727700 Round Threading Die 8-32 Unc High Speed Steel

Product Description

The OSG 2727700 is a round threading die designed to cut external 8-32 UNC threads on iron and steel workpieces. Manufactured from high-speed steel, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for repetitive thread-cutting operations in shop and field environments. The die measures 0.8125 inches in outside diameter and 0.25 inches in thickness, fitting standard round die stocks of that size. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for minor wear over the life of the tool. Right-hand thread cutting is standard. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians reach for this type of die when producing or restoring machine-screw threads on bolts, studs, and rod stock.

This die is suited for use in production and repair settings where 8-32 UNC threads are required. Common applications include threading fastener blanks, restoring damaged threads on existing hardware, and cutting threads on mild steel or iron rod. The 8-32 size is a standard machine-screw thread widely used in light-duty mechanical assemblies, electrical enclosures, and instrument panels. The high-speed steel construction makes it appropriate for use with cutting oil on both ferrous metals and similar materials without rapid edge breakdown.

• Rated for use on iron and steel workpieces

Compatibility

Designed for use on iron and steel workpieces requiring 8-32 UNC right-hand external threads. Fits round die stocks accepting a 0.8125-inch outside diameter die.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a compatible round die stock before use. Secure the die in the stock using the set screws provided on the holder before beginning any threading operation. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece and die to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Inspect the workpiece diameter against the recommended tap drill and blank diameter chart for 8-32 UNC before cutting to avoid overloading the die.
