Value Collection 314-1842 Round Die M24x2 2 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1842 is a round threading die designed to cut external M24x2 metric fine threads on bolts, studs, and rod stock. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it holds a cutting edge under the heat and pressure of threading operations and outlasts carbon steel tooling in production environments. The 2-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks. The adjustable design allows minor diameter compensation to fine-tune thread fit and extend die service life. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, and industrial trades reach for this die when cutting or chasing M24 metric fine threads by hand or in a die stock.

This die is suited for threading metric fine-pitch fasteners in mechanical assembly, repair, and fabrication work. The M24x2 designation specifies a 24 mm nominal diameter with a 2 mm thread pitch, placing it in the metric fine thread series. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of fastener applications. It is appropriate for use in maintenance shops, machine shops, and field repair scenarios wherever M24x2 external threads need to be cut or restored on steel, aluminum, or similar machinable materials.

Key Features

• M24x2 metric fine thread profile for precise pitch accuracy
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during cutting
• Adjustable die allows thread diameter fine-tuning and extends tool life
• 2-inch OD fits standard round die stocks and holders
• Right-hand thread direction matches conventional fastener orientation
• Lightweight at 0.4 pounds for easy handling and portability

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stocks accepting a 2-inch outside diameter die. Suitable for cutting M24x2 metric fine right-hand external threads on compatible stock materials.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a matched round die stock before use. Apply cutting oil generously to the workpiece and die to reduce friction and heat, and to improve thread finish. Periodically back off the die during cutting to break chips and prevent binding, especially in deeper threading passes. Adjustment of the set screw should be made before threading begins, not mid-cut.
