Threading die for UNC 3/8-16 threads

The Cleveland Golf C65855 is a round adjustable die made from high speed steel. It cuts right-hand unified coarse threads at 3/8 in. diameter with 16 threads per inch. The tool suits maintenance technicians and metalworkers who need to create or repair external threads on rods or bolts. It is not for internal thread cutting or for left-hand thread applications.

Heat and wear characteristics in use

High speed steel construction resists heat buildup during cutting operations. The bright uncoated finish allows cutting fluid to adhere well for temperature control. Adjustable design lets the user compensate for wear by narrowing the die opening, extending service life. No powered cooling or lubrication system is integrated.

Build and mounting practicalities

The die body measures 1 1/2 in. outside diameter and 1/2 in. thickness, fitting standard die stocks and holders. Right-hand thread direction matches common fastener standards. Machined bright finish provides corrosion resistance without coating buildup that could affect thread gauge. The adjustable split design requires a compatible stock with set screws for secure clamping.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Cleveland Golf C65855 die in a 1 1/2 in die stock and what step is often missed?

Insert the round die into the stock, align the adjusting screw with the die slot, then tighten the set screws evenly; the step often missed is setting the die gap to a snug fit before cutting the first thread.

What maintenance or replacement will the C65855 high speed steel die need after extended threading work?

The uncoated HSS cutting edges will dull over time; sharpening is possible but replacement is usually more practical once the 3/8-16 thread form no longer cuts cleanly.

What limit appears first when using the C65855 die continuously on tough material?

Heat buildup in the uncoated high speed steel causes the cutting edges to lose hardness fastest, so cutting speed must be reduced or cutting fluid applied to avoid premature wear.
