Value Collection 82237953 Round Die M20x2.5 2in Lh Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82237953 is an adjustable round die designed to cut left-hand metric coarse external threads sized M20x2.5. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), this die delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for production threading work on steel, stainless, and other ferrous and non-ferrous stock. At 2 inches in outside diameter and 5/8 inch in thickness, it fits standard 2-inch die stocks and holders. Left-hand thread configuration makes it the correct choice when the application requires a thread that tightens counter-clockwise, such as certain spindles, turnbuckles, and specialty fastener installations. The adjustable design allows minor pitch diameter tuning for fit and tolerance control.

This die is suited for tool-and-die shops, maintenance and repair operations, and machine shops that need to produce or restore left-hand M20x2.5 threads. Typical applications include fabricating custom fasteners, repairing damaged threads on shafts or fixtures, and producing threaded rod in left-hand configurations. It is used by machinists, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians working with metric-threaded components. The 2-inch OD form factor is a common standard size that fits widely available die stocks in both manual and bench-mounted setups.

Key Features

• M20x2.5 metric coarse thread size for precise, standard-compliant thread cutting
• Left-hand thread direction for applications requiring counter-clockwise thread engagement
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance for threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Adjustable design allows pitch diameter fine-tuning for controlled thread fit and tolerance
• 2-inch outside diameter fits standard die stocks and holders
• 5/8 inch thickness for stable seating and consistent thread start

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 2-inch round die stocks and holders commonly used in manual threading and bench operations requiring metric coarse left-hand thread cutting.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and used by machinists and qualified tradespeople familiar with manual or machine threading operations. Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die stock before use, ensuring set screws are fully engaged. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend die life. Always verify thread direction and size requirements against the application before beginning thread cutting operations.
