Value Collection 314-1120 Round Die 5-44 Unf 1 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1120 is a round threading die designed to cut external 5-44 UNF threads on fasteners, bolts, and threaded rod stock. Machined from high-speed steel (HSS), this die delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for production threading and repair work. The 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit tolerance by opening or closing the die slightly before or during cutting. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of fastener applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die workers are the typical users.

This die is suited for threading small-diameter fasteners and machine screws in the 5-44 UNF specification, a fine-pitch unified thread common in precision instruments, electronics enclosures, and light mechanical assemblies. It is appropriate for both bench-mounted die stock use and hand-threading operations where a 1-inch die holder is available. The fine 44 TPI pitch makes it well suited for thin-walled or small-cross-section workpieces where coarse-thread engagement would be insufficient.

Key Features

• 5-44 UNF thread specification for fine-pitch small fastener work
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and thermal resistance during cutting
• 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks
• Adjustable split design allows thread fit fine-tuning without changing tools
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard fastener orientation
• Weighs 0.5 pounds for easy bench or hand use

Compatibility

Designed for use in any standard 1-inch round die stock or die holder that accepts the 1-inch OD round die form factor.

Installation Notes

Threading dies are installed and used by machinists and maintenance technicians following standard bench-work practices. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped or held in a vise before starting the thread cut. Apply cutting oil or threading lubricant to the workpiece and die to extend die life and improve thread finish. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use, and adjust the set screw on the die stock to achieve the desired thread fit before taking a finish pass.
