Value Collection 314-1048 Round Die M1x0.25 Hss Metric

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1048 is a round threading die used to cut or recut external metric threads on bolts, screws, and cylindrical stock. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), this die holds its cutting edge under the heat and friction of production threading work. It cuts M1x0.25 metric coarse threads in a right-hand direction and features an adjustable design that allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit. Machinists, tool and die workers, and maintenance technicians install and use this die with a standard round die stock or die holder. At 0.5 pounds, it is sized for precision small-diameter threading applications.

This die is suited for threading small-diameter metric fasteners and precision components in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and manufacturing environments. The M1x0.25 designation indicates a 1 mm nominal thread diameter with a 0.25 mm pitch, placing it in the fine end of small-diameter metric coarse thread work. It is appropriate for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals where accurate thread form and consistent pitch are required. Applications include fabrication of custom fasteners, repair of stripped threads on precision hardware, and prototype component threading.

Key Features

• M1x0.25 metric coarse thread form for small-diameter precision threading
• High-speed steel construction for heat resistance and edge retention during cutting
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread fit and diameter tolerance
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard orientation for most fastener applications
• Round die profile fits standard round die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stocks and holders sized to accept this die body. Cuts M1x0.25 metric coarse right-hand external threads per metric thread standards.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and used by machinists and maintenance technicians using a matching round die stock. Secure the die firmly in the die stock before use and verify the adjusting screw is set to the desired thread fit before cutting. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend die life and improve thread finish. Inspect the die for chipping or wear before each use, as a damaged cutting edge will produce out-of-tolerance threads.
