Value Collection 82237979 Round Die M22x2.5 2 in Od Hss Left Hand

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82237979 is a round threading die designed to cut M22x2.5 metric coarse external threads with a left-hand thread direction. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), this die delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for repetitive threading on steel, stainless, and similar materials. At 2 inches outside diameter and 5/8 inch thickness, it fits standard 2-inch die stocks. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune cutting depth for proper thread fit and to compensate for die wear over time. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this type of tooling.

This die is suited for threading metric fasteners, rods, and fittings requiring a left-hand M22x2.5 thread profile. Left-hand thread applications are common in mechanical assemblies where counterclockwise rotation would loosen a standard right-hand fastener, such as certain industrial shafts, turnbuckles, and specialty fastener applications. The 2-inch OD format is compatible with widely available bench-top and hand-held die stocks found in machine shops and maintenance facilities.

Key Features

• M22x2.5 metric coarse thread size for precise external thread cutting
• Left-hand thread direction for specialty fastener and assembly applications
• High-speed steel construction for heat resistance and extended tool life
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of cutting depth and thread fit
• 2 inch outside diameter fits standard 2-inch die stocks
• 5/8 inch thickness provides stable engagement in the die holder

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 2-inch OD round die stocks. Verify that the die stock accepts a 5/8 inch thick die before installation.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die stock before beginning any threading operation. Apply cutting oil generously to the workpiece and die to reduce friction, prevent galling, and extend die life. Ensure the workpiece is clamped or held securely to prevent movement during cutting. Left-hand dies must be turned counterclockwise relative to a standard right-hand die operation — confirm thread direction requirements before cutting.
