Value Collection 84026904 Round Die 7-40 High Speed Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 84026904 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolt stock, and similar workpieces. Made from high-speed steel, this die holds an edge under the heat and friction generated during threading operations. It cuts a 7-40 thread profile with a right-hand thread direction and features an adjustable design that allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and cutting depth. At 0.1 pounds, it is a compact, handheld tooling component suited for bench work and field use by machinists, tool and die technicians, and maintenance professionals.

This die is intended for cutting 7-40 unified inch threads on small-diameter fasteners, precision shafts, and instrument-scale components. The 7-40 thread size falls in the fine-pitch, small-diameter range common in instrument assembly, optical equipment, and precision mechanical work. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both initial thread cutting and for chasing existing threads to restore damaged fastener profiles. It is used in shop environments and field maintenance settings where hand threading is required.

Key Features

• 7-40 thread size for small-diameter, fine-pitch external threading applications
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup and maintains cutting edge integrity
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread tolerance and cutting depth
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility
• Compact and lightweight at 0.1 pounds for easy handling and storage

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round die for use with matching die stocks and holders sized to accept the die body. Verify die holder compatibility before use to ensure proper seating and alignment during threading.

Installation Notes

Threading dies are installed and operated by machinists and maintenance technicians using a die stock or appropriate holder. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before beginning thread cutting. Apply cutting fluid to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend tool life. Back off the die periodically during cutting to clear chips and prevent binding.
