Value Collection 82260954 Round Die M2.3x0.4 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82260954 is a round threading die machined from high-speed steel (HSS) for cutting external metric coarse threads. It produces M2.3x0.4 threads, meaning a 2.3 mm nominal diameter with a 0.4 mm pitch. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune the cutting diameter for a precise fit or to compensate for tool wear. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of fastener and component threading applications. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians use round dies like this one when threading small-diameter rod, studs, or repair work on existing fasteners.

This die is suited for small-scale threading tasks in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where metric fasteners are standard. The M2.3x0.4 size is common in precision instrument work, electronics hardware, and small mechanical assemblies. It fits standard round die stocks and die holders sized for this OD. Because of the small thread size, this die is typically used in bench or hand-held die holders rather than power threading equipment.

Key Features

• M2.3x0.4 metric coarse thread form for precise external thread cutting
• High-speed steel construction for durability and resistance to cutting heat
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of cutting diameter
• Right-hand thread direction — compatible with standard fastener conventions
• Fits standard round die stocks sized for this die OD

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die holders and die stocks that accept this die outer diameter. Suitable for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials to an M2.3x0.4 metric coarse specification.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and secured in a matching die stock using the set screws provided on the die stock — not included. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece before threading to reduce heat and improve thread finish. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before applying the die. For small-diameter threads like M2.3, use steady, even pressure and back off frequently to clear chips and prevent die breakage.
