Value Collection 84030252 Round Die 1/4-24 Hss Adjustable

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 84030252 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on fasteners, rod stock, and fittings. Built from high-speed steel, it maintains cutting-edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations. This die cuts a 1/4-24 UNS right-hand thread profile and features an adjustable design that allows the cutting diameter to be fine-tuned for thread fit and tool longevity. It is a standard shop and field tool for machinists, pipefitters, maintenance technicians, and industrial tradespeople who need to cut or restore external threads on metal stock.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials in shop or job-site environments. The 1/4-24 UNS specification is a unified national special thread form, used in applications where a 1/4-inch diameter fastener is required at 24 threads per inch. Typical use cases include fabricating threaded rod, repairing damaged fastener threads, and producing custom-length threaded sections on bar stock.

Installation Notes

Threading dies are installed and operated by machinists and qualified tradespeople using a properly sized die stock or holder. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading to prevent movement during cutting. Apply a suitable cutting fluid to the die and workpiece to reduce heat and improve thread finish. Inspect the die for wear or damage before each use and replace if cutting edges are dull or chipped.
