Value Collection 82238001 Round Die M27x2 Left Hand Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82238001 is an adjustable round threading die designed to cut M27x2 left-hand metric fine threads in metal workpieces. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for threading steel, stainless, and other ferrous materials under production and job-shop conditions. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread depth and fit, accommodating slight variations in stock diameter. At 3/4 inch thick and weighing 0.4 pounds, it fits standard round die stocks of the appropriate size. This tool is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-room professionals who need to produce or restore external left-hand metric threads.

This die is suited for threading M27x2 left-hand external threads on bolts, studs, shafts, and threaded rod in both production and repair applications. Left-hand thread dies are commonly used in applications where rotation would loosen a standard right-hand fastener, such as certain mechanical assemblies, turnbuckles, and retention hardware. It is appropriate for use in manual die stocks or machine-held die holders compatible with the die outside diameter. Sold individually as a single-piece unit.

Key Features

• M27x2 metric fine thread profile for precise thread form and fit
• Left-hand thread direction for applications requiring reverse-thread fastening
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance during cutting
• Adjustable design allows thread depth fine-tuning to achieve proper fit
• 3/4 inch thickness compatible with standard round die stocks
• Single-piece unit ready for immediate use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for use in round die stocks sized to accept this die outside diameter, used in metric fine left-hand threading applications.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and secured in a compatible round die stock before use. Ensure the die stock set screws are properly tightened before beginning thread cutting. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the workpiece to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Always verify thread direction and pitch requirements before cutting, as left-hand dies will not produce standard right-hand threads.
