Value Collection 82236138 Round Die M38x2.5 Hss Metric

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82236138 is a round threading die designed to cut external M38x2.5 metric threads on round stock, fasteners, and fittings. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and edge retention needed for threading steel, stainless, and other ferrous materials in production and repair work. The die cuts a right-hand thread to the metric special standard and features an adjustable design that allows the operator to fine-tune the thread fit. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians commonly use this die with a standard round die stock or holder sized for the outside diameter of the die.

This die is suited for threading operations where a standard M38x2.5 metric external thread is required. Typical applications include fabricating threaded rod, rethreading damaged fasteners, and cutting new threads on shaft stock. The metric special thread standard makes this die applicable in industrial maintenance, equipment repair, and custom fabrication environments where metric hardware is specified. It is sized for bench or hand-held die stock operation and is not intended for power-driven die head applications.

Key Features

• M38x2.5 metric thread size for large-diameter external threading operations
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance across ferrous and alloy materials
• Adjustable die body allows thread fit to be dialed in for tolerance control
• Right-hand thread direction follows standard fastener convention
• Metric special thread standard suits industrial and equipment maintenance applications

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental round die for use with standard die stocks sized to accept this die outside diameter in M38x2.5 metric applications. No specific compatible model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals familiar with hand-threading operations. Secure the die in a properly sized round die stock before use, and apply cutting oil to the workpiece to extend die life and improve thread quality. Inspect the workpiece diameter against the nominal M38 major diameter specification before cutting to avoid overloading the die. When adjusting the die, make incremental changes and test the fit with a gauge or mating part rather than forcing the die to depth.
