Value Collection 82236013 Round Die M26x3 2 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82236013 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric threads in shop and field applications. It carries an M26x3 thread profile with a 2-inch outside diameter and is manufactured from high-speed steel for durability across a range of workpiece materials. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by expanding or contracting the die slightly, which is useful for achieving a precise thread class or compensating for wear. This die is intended for use by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals working with metric fastener specifications.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable metals in production or maintenance settings. The M26x3 designation indicates a 26-millimeter nominal diameter with a 3-millimeter pitch, classified as a metric special thread standard. Typical applications include fabricating custom studs, repairing damaged external threads on shafts, or producing threaded rod stock to metric specifications. It is appropriate for both manual die stock holders and machine-assisted threading operations where a 2-inch OD die is accepted.

Key Features

• M26x3 metric special thread form for 26-millimeter nominal diameter at 3-millimeter pitch
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during cutting and extends service life
• Adjustable design allows minor diameter adjustment for thread fit and die reconditioning
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard die stocks and threading handles
• 2-inch outside diameter fits die holders sized for that standard OD

Compatibility

Designed for use in any die stock or threading handle that accepts a 2-inch outside diameter round die. Suitable for cutting right-hand external threads conforming to the metric special M26x3 thread standard.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die stock before use to prevent rotation during the threading operation. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the workpiece and die throughout the cut to reduce heat and improve thread finish. Inspect the workpiece diameter before threading to confirm it is within the recommended blank diameter range for M26x3 threads. Keep hands and loose clothing clear of rotating work when using this die in a lathe or machine threading setup.
