Value Collection 314-1844 Round Die M24x3 2 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1844 is a round threading die designed to cut external M24x3 metric coarse threads on bolts, studs, and cylindrical stock. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), this die holds cutting edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations, extending service life compared to carbon steel tooling. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune the cutting diameter for a snug thread fit or to compensate for slight die wear. At 2 inches outside diameter, it seats securely in a standard 2-inch die stock or threading handle. Right-hand thread direction matches the overwhelming majority of metric fastener applications.

This die is suited for machine shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field service work where metric threaded rod or fasteners need to be fabricated or restored. It is appropriate for use on mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. The M24x3 specification is a metric coarse thread profile commonly found in heavy equipment, structural fasteners, and industrial machinery. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and skilled maintenance tradespeople are the primary users of this tooling.

Key Features

• M24x3 metric coarse thread profile for standard heavy-fastener applications
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup and maintains cutting edge integrity
• Adjustable die body allows thread fit fine-tuning and compensates for wear
• 2 inch outside diameter fits standard 2-inch die stocks and threading handles
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard metric fastener convention

Compatibility

Designed for use in any standard 2-inch round die stock or threading handle that accepts a 2-inch OD die. Suitable for cutting M24x3 metric coarse external threads on compatible workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in the die stock before beginning any threading operation. Apply a suitable cutting oil to the workpiece and die to reduce friction and heat, and to improve thread finish. Start the die square to the workpiece axis to avoid cross-threading. Reverse the die periodically during cutting to break chips and clear the flutes.
