Value Collection 82235957 Round Die M23x2.5 2 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82235957 is a round threading die designed to cut external M23x2.5 metric special threads on rod, bolt stock, and cylindrical workpieces. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for threading steel, aluminum, and similar metals in shop and field applications. The die measures 2 inches in outside diameter, fitting standard 2-inch round die stocks and holders. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by slightly expanding or compressing the die for a closer tolerance result. Right-hand thread direction is standard for metric fastener work.

This die is suited for machinists, tool-and-die makers, maintenance technicians, and skilled tradespeople who need to chase, repair, or cut M23x2.5 metric special external threads. It is appropriate for both production bench work and one-off repair threading jobs where a quality HSS die is required. The 2-inch OD form factor is a widely used shop standard, making this die compatible with most common round die holders available in machine shops and trade environments.

Key Features

• M23x2.5 metric special thread form for specialized metric threading applications
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during cutting, extending die life
• Adjustable design allows thread fit fine-tuning for closer tolerances
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard metric fastener convention
• 2-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 2-inch round die stocks and holders; suitable for cutting M23x2.5 metric special right-hand external threads on compatible workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized round die stock before use. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece and die before threading to reduce friction, extend tool life, and improve thread quality. Start the die squarely on the workpiece to prevent cross-threading. Follow applicable shop safety practices, including eye protection, when performing threading operations.
