Value Collection 03690484 Round Die 8-36 Unf Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 03690484 is a round threading die designed to cut 8-36 UNF external threads on bolts, screws, and cylindrical stock. Manufactured from high speed steel, this die maintains cutting edge integrity under the heat and friction of threading operations. The adjustable design allows the technician to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for minor die wear over time. At 1/4 inch thickness, it seats securely in standard round die stocks. It is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and trade professionals who need to chase or cut fine unified threads in the field or shop.

This die is suited for threading operations in manufacturing, maintenance and repair, and fabrication environments. It cuts right-hand 8-36 UNF threads, a fine-pitch size commonly found on small fasteners used in electrical panels, instrumentation, HVAC components, and light mechanical assemblies. It performs best when used with appropriate cutting fluid to extend die life and improve thread quality. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both initial thread cutting and chasing damaged threads on existing fasteners.

Key Features

• High speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during threading
• Cuts 8-36 UNF right-hand external threads
• Adjustable die body allows thread fit tuning and compensation for wear
• 1/4 inch thickness fits standard round die stocks
• Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener standard

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round die for use in compatible round die stocks that accept the appropriate die diameter. Fits applications requiring 8-36 UNF right-hand external thread cutting.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a round die stock before beginning any threading operation. Apply cutting fluid to the workpiece and die to reduce heat buildup and improve thread finish. Keep hands and clothing clear of rotating stock when threading on a lathe or drill press. Inspect the die for cracks or chipped cutting edges before each use and replace if damaged.
