Price Ranges for Adjustable Dies

Adjustable dies are used in various machining and manufacturing applications, particularly in threading and shaping. Their prices can vary widely based on several factors, including:

  1. Type of Adjustable Die: There are different types of adjustable dies (e.g., round, hexagonal, etc.), and each may have different pricing.

  2. Material: Dies made from high-speed steel (HSS) tend to be less expensive than those made from carbide or other high-performance materials.

  3. Size and Thread Pitch: Larger or more specialized dies can be more expensive than standard sizes.

  4. Brand: Well-established brands with a reputation for quality (such as Greenfield, Gerdau, or others) may command higher prices.

  5. Features: Some adjustable dies have advanced features like self-clamping mechanisms or are designed for specific applications which can also affect cost.

Generally, the price range for adjustable dies can be:

  • Low-end: $20 to $50 for basic, smaller, or less durable options.
  • Mid-range: $50 to $150 for better quality materials and brands.
  • High-end: $150 to $500 or more for specialized or larger dies with enhanced features.

When purchasing adjustable dies, it's important to consider not just the initial cost, but also factors such as durability, heat resistance, and the specific application to ensure the best fit for your needs. If you're looking for specific models or features, checking with a specialized supplier can provide more targeted information.
