Osg 46011 Round Threading Die M2x0.4 20mm Od Hss

Product Description

The OSG 46011 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric threads on iron and steel workpieces. It produces M2x0.4 metric coarse threads and is built from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability across repeated use in production and maintenance environments. The die measures 20 mm in outside diameter and 7 mm in thickness, fitting standard round die stocks designed for that OD. An adjustable design allows the cutting diameter to be fine-tuned for thread tolerance control. Right-hand thread cutting direction follows standard metric convention. This die is suited for machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians who need to chase or cut M2 threads in metal stock.

This die is used to cut or recut M2x0.4 metric coarse external threads on iron and steel. It fits applications in precision manufacturing, machine shops, and field maintenance where small-diameter metric fasteners are fabricated or restored. The 20 mm OD matches common round die stock holders found in standard threading kits. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both initial thread cutting and cleanup of damaged threads where a slight diameter variation improves fit.

Key Features

• M2x0.4 metric coarse thread form for standard small-diameter metric fastener production
• High-speed steel construction for wear resistance on iron and steel materials
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of cutting diameter for tolerance control
• Right-hand thread direction per standard metric convention
• 20 mm outside diameter fits standard round die stocks of that size
• 7 mm thickness provides stable engagement during threading operations

Compatibility

Designed for use on iron and steel workpieces. Fits standard round die stocks with a 20 mm OD bore. Compatible with OSG Series 135 tooling systems.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized round die stock before use. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend die life. Advance the die in short increments and back off periodically to break chips, especially in blind or deep threading applications. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use, and replace if cutting edges are damaged to avoid producing out-of-tolerance threads.
