Value Collection 82261101 Round Die M2.6x0.45 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 82261101 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric coarse threads at M2.6x0.45. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), this die delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for threading operations on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for tool wear. Right-hand thread direction follows standard cutting convention. At 0.5 pounds, it is a compact tool suited for bench or hand-held die stock use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and trade environments.

This die is used to produce external M2.6x0.45 metric coarse threads on bolts, studs, rods, and small fasteners. It is appropriate for both production threading and repair work where a standard metric thread must be cut or restored. Typical applications include precision assembly, light mechanical fabrication, and field repair of small-diameter threaded components. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians commonly use this die in shop and field settings.

Installation Notes

Threading dies of this type are installed and tightened into a compatible round die stock before use. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before cutting. Apply cutting fluid to the die and workpiece to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Follow applicable shop safety practices and ensure the die stock handle is fully engaged before applying cutting torque.
