Value Collection 84027563 Round Die 8-56 High Speed Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 84027563 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on fasteners, rods, and machined components. Built from high-speed steel, this die holds its cutting edge under the heat and friction generated during threading operations. It is sized for the 8-56 thread specification and configured for right-hand thread cutting. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by opening or closing the die slightly using a set screw, which is useful when threading softer materials or when a custom fit tolerance is needed. This die is a standard shop tool used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and metalworkers across industrial and trade settings.

This die is suited for cutting 8-56 threads in production, repair, and prototype work. It fits standard round die stocks sized to accept this die diameter. Typical applications include threading small-diameter fasteners, instrument hardware, and precision mechanical components. The right-hand configuration covers the vast majority of standard threading applications. The high-speed steel construction makes it appropriate for use on mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during threading
• 8-56 thread size for small-diameter precision threading applications
• Right-hand thread direction, compatible with standard fastener conventions
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread fit and tolerance
• Round die form fits standard round die stocks and die holders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round threading die for use with die stocks and holders sized to accept this die form factor, compatible with applications requiring 8-56 right-hand external threads.

Installation Notes

Threading dies are used by machinists and maintenance technicians using a die stock or die holder of the appropriate size. Ensure the workpiece is securely chucked or fixtured before threading begins. Apply a suitable cutting fluid to extend die life and improve thread quality. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting edges are damaged.
