Value Collection 314-1024 Round Die 6-40 Unf Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1024 is a round threading die designed to cut external 6-40 UNF right-hand threads on metal workpieces. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it maintains cutting edge integrity under the heat generated during threading operations. The die features an adjustable design, allowing the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for minor wear over the life of the tool. It is a standard round die sized for use in a matching die stock or holder. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians use this type of die for fabricating or repairing threaded fastener interfaces on small-diameter work.

This die is suited for threading applications requiring a fine-pitch 6-40 UNF specification, commonly found in precision instrument work, electronics assembly, and light mechanical assemblies. The right-hand thread direction is the standard orientation for the vast majority of threading tasks. Its compact size and adjustability make it a practical choice for both bench work and field repair situations where exact thread class may need slight tuning.

Key Features

• 6-40 UNF thread specification for fine-pitch external threading
• High-speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention during cutting
• Adjustable die body allows fine-tuning of thread fit and tolerance
• Right-hand thread direction — standard orientation for general threading work
• Round die form compatible with standard die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round die for use in a matching die stock or holder that accepts the appropriate round die diameter. Suitable for cutting 6-40 UNF right-hand external threads on compatible workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Threading dies are installed and operated by machinists or qualified maintenance technicians. Secure the die firmly in the correct die stock before beginning any threading operation. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the workpiece to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Inspect the die for chips or wear before each use, and ensure the workpiece diameter is correctly sized to the thread specification before starting.
