Value Collection 314-1052 Round Die M1.6x0.35 Hss Metric

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1052 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric coarse threads on fasteners, studs, and round stock. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), it holds a cutting edge through repeated use in both hand and machine tapping operations. The die cuts a right-hand thread at M1.6x0.35, a common metric coarse pitch used in small-diameter fastener work. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for tool wear. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians install this die when threading small-diameter workpieces to metric standards.

This die is suited for threading M1.6x0.35 metric coarse external threads in production, repair, and prototype work. Applications include small machine screws, instrument hardware, electronic chassis fasteners, and precision assemblies requiring metric thread profiles. The M1.6 diameter and 0.35 mm pitch are standard in metric coarse series applications, making this die a practical choice for general-purpose thread cutting in light industrial and bench work environments.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability across repeated cutting cycles
• M1.6x0.35 metric coarse thread profile for small-diameter fastener work
• Right-hand thread direction for standard metric thread cutting
• Adjustable design allows thread fit fine-tuning and compensation for wear
• Round die form compatible with standard die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use round die compatible with standard die stocks and holders sized for this die diameter. Verify die stock bore size before installation.

Installation Notes

Round threading dies are installed by machinists and toolmakers using a matching die stock. Secure the die firmly in the stock before use and ensure the workpiece is properly chamfered to start the thread cleanly. Keep the die and workpiece lubricated with an appropriate cutting oil during threading to extend tool life and improve thread quality. Do not force the die through oversized or hardened stock beyond its rated capacity.
