Value Collection 82236245 Round Die M52x3 3 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82236245 is a round threading die designed to cut external M52x3 metric fine threads on bolts, studs, and round stock. Machined from high-speed steel (HSS), this die holds cutting edges through repeated use and handles the heat generated in production and repair threading operations. The 3-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks of that size. The adjustable design allows the operator to dial in thread fit and compensate for tool wear. Right-hand thread cutting is standard for the vast majority of fastener applications. This die is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals in shop and field settings.

This die is suited for threading larger-diameter metric fine fasteners in industrial maintenance, equipment repair, and fabrication work. The M52x3 thread specification is a metric fine pitch used in precision machinery, hydraulic fittings, and heavy equipment components where a coarser thread pitch would not provide adequate holding strength or adjustment resolution. The 3-inch OD allows secure seating in a matching die stock or holder for controlled, accurate thread cutting.

Key Features

• M52x3 metric fine thread specification for precision threading applications
• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during cutting
• 3-inch outside diameter fits standard large-format round die stocks
• Adjustable design allows thread fit tuning and compensation for wear
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use round die for any die stock or holder accepting a 3-inch outside diameter round die cutting M52x3 metric fine right-hand threads.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should seat the die firmly and squarely in the die stock before starting the cut. Apply cutting oil liberally to the workpiece and die throughout the threading operation to reduce heat and improve thread quality. Back off the die periodically to clear chips and prevent binding. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges are degraded.
