Value Collection 82235858 Round Die M17x0.5 Hss Adjustable

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82235858 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric threads on rod, bolt blanks, and cylindrical stock. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), it maintains cutting edge hardness at elevated temperatures generated during threading operations. The die is adjustable, allowing the operator to fine-tune thread depth and fit across multiple passes. It cuts a right-hand M17x0.5 thread profile to metric special standards and weighs approximately 0.1 pounds. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians use this die for production threading, repair threading, and thread restoration work on metric fasteners and threaded components.

This die is suited for threading operations on steel, aluminum, brass, and other machinable materials where an M17x0.5 metric special thread form is required. Typical applications include custom fastener fabrication, hydraulic fitting threads, precision instrument components, and repair of damaged external threads. The fine 0.5 mm pitch makes it appropriate for thin-walled tubing, precision shafts, and applications where a coarser pitch would compromise material integrity. It is used in both manual die stock holders and bench-mounted threading setups in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and toolrooms.

Key Features

• M17x0.5 metric special thread profile for fine-pitch external threading
• High-speed steel construction retains hardness under heat generated during cutting
• Adjustable design allows thread depth fine-tuning for fit and tolerance control
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard die stock holders
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy handling and tool storage

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round die for use in compatible die stock holders sized for this die diameter. No specific model or system compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and operated by qualified machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with manual and bench threading procedures. Secure the die firmly in the appropriate die stock holder before beginning any threading pass. Apply cutting oil or thread-cutting fluid throughout the operation to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Inspect the workpiece diameter against M17x0.5 tolerance specifications before threading to ensure proper thread form and fit.
