Value Collection 84027241 Round Die 8-24 High Speed Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 84027241 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on fasteners, bolts, and round stock. Made from high-speed steel, it holds a cutting edge under the heat and friction of threading operations. The die is adjustable, allowing the operator to dial in thread fit by slightly opening or closing the die body with a set screw. It cuts a right-hand 8-24 thread conforming to the UNS (Unified National Special) standard. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians install this type of die in a standard round die stock or holder to produce or restore external threads on small-diameter fasteners and hardware components.

This die is suited for threading small-diameter stock in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and light manufacturing environments. The 8-24 designation refers to a 0.164-inch nominal diameter with 24 threads per inch, a thread form used in instrument hardware, small machine screws, and specialty fasteners. It is appropriate for bench work and hand threading operations where precise thread fit is required on replacement or custom-length fasteners.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction retains cutting edge under threading heat and friction
• Adjustable die body allows fine-tuning of thread fit and cutting depth
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener applications
• 8-24 UNS thread form for instrument hardware and specialty small-diameter fasteners
• Round die profile fits standard round die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling addition for use in round die stocks and holders sized to accept dies for small-diameter threading applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced technician should seat the die squarely in the die stock before beginning a threading pass to avoid crooked or torn threads. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before applying the die. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend die life and improve thread quality. Loosen the adjustment set screw slightly if the die binds; tighten it incrementally to achieve the desired thread fit.
