Value Collection 82260756 Round Die M2x0.45 Hss Metric

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82260756 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric threads on bolts, screws, and round stock. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it handles the heat and friction generated during threading operations without losing hardness or edge integrity. This die cuts M2x0.45 metric threads — a fine-pitch thread commonly found in precision fastener applications. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune the cutting diameter for a tighter or looser thread fit. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians use round dies like this for production threading and repair work on small-diameter fasteners.

This die is suited for threading small-diameter metric stock in both shop and field applications. The M2x0.45 designation indicates a 2 mm nominal diameter with a 0.45 mm thread pitch, conforming to metric special thread standards. Right-hand thread direction matches the most common fastener convention. Typical use cases include fabricating custom fasteners, rethreading damaged screw shanks, and production runs where consistent thread form on small metric stock is required.

Key Features

• M2x0.45 metric thread form for precise external threading on small-diameter stock
• High-speed steel construction maintains cutting hardness under heat and friction
• Adjustable die body allows fine-tuning of thread fit and cutting depth
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard fastener convention
• Metric special thread standard for precision fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard round die stocks and holders sized to accept this die body. Suitable for threading M2x0.45 metric right-hand external threads on compatible stock materials.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and driven by a die stock or die holder matched to the die's outer diameter. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before threading to prevent movement. Apply cutting oil generously during the threading operation to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Back the die off periodically to break chips and clear the flutes, particularly when threading ductile metals.
