Value Collection 364-0273 Hex Rethreading Die M27x3

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 364-0273 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external metric threads without requiring a full thread-cutting setup. Sized for M27x3 metric coarse thread, it cuts right-hand threads and fits a standard 2-inch hex holder or tap-and-die wrench. The die body is 1 inch thick and machined from carbon steel, providing the hardness needed to chase and restore threads on fasteners, studs, and shafts encountered in industrial maintenance, heavy equipment repair, and mechanical service work. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians use this die when a bolt or stud thread is damaged in the field and replacement is not immediately practical.

This rethreading die is suited for maintenance and repair operations where restoring an existing M27x3 thread profile is faster than part replacement. Typical applications include heavy equipment service, structural fastener repair, and industrial machinery maintenance. The 2-inch hex profile accommodates standard die stocks and tap wrenches commonly found in trade and shop environments. Its compact 1-inch thickness allows use in moderately confined spaces around fastener heads and exposed studs.

Key Features

• M27x3 metric coarse thread size for restoring standard metric fasteners
• Right-hand thread direction matches conventional fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness for chasing damaged threads
• 2-inch hex body fits standard die stocks and tap wrenches
• 1-inch die thickness suits a wide range of hex die holders

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 2-inch hex die stocks and tap-and-die sets that accept hex rethreading dies in metric coarse thread configurations.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are installed and operated by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using a correctly sized die stock or tap wrench. Secure the workpiece firmly before engaging the die to prevent movement during thread chasing. Apply cutting oil liberally to reduce heat and improve thread finish when chasing steel fasteners. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use, and never force a die onto a severely deformed thread without first removing burrs with a file.
