Value Collection 314-1026 Round Die 8-32 Unc Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1026 is a round threading die designed to cut 8-32 UNC external threads on fasteners, studs, and rod stock. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), this die maintains cutting edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for tool wear over time. Right-hand thread cutting is standard, matching the vast majority of UNC fastener applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals install and use this die for thread repair and fabrication work in the shop or field.

This die is suited for cutting 8-32 UNC threads in a standard round die stock or holder. It is commonly used in metal fabrication, mechanical maintenance, HVAC equipment assembly, plumbing fixture work, and general industrial applications where 8-32 unified coarse thread is specified. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both initial thread cutting and cleanup passes on existing threads.

Installation Notes

This die is seated and secured in a matching round die stock before use. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before threading to prevent movement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend die life and improve thread finish. Inspect the die for chipping or wear before each use, and replace if cutting edges are damaged to avoid producing out-of-tolerance threads.
