Value Collection 314-1122 Round Die 6-32 1 in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1122 is a round threading die designed to cut external 6-32 Unified National Coarse (UNC) threads on fasteners, studs, and threaded rod. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), the die maintains cutting edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations, extending service life across repeated use. The 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks of that size. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by expanding or compressing the die slightly, accommodating variations in stock diameter or achieving a tighter thread tolerance.

This die is suited for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments where 6-32 threaded fasteners need to be cut or restored. Right-hand thread direction follows standard fastener convention. Typical applications include threading small-diameter steel, aluminum, brass, or similar machinable stock in both production and repair contexts. The part weighs approximately 0.06 pounds, making it easy to handle in confined workspaces.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction retains hardness and cutting performance under elevated threading temperatures
• Adjustable die body allows fine-tuning of thread fit and tolerance
• 6-32 UNC thread form follows standard Unified National Coarse specification
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard fastener convention
• 1-inch outside diameter fits common round die stocks sized for 1-inch dies

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1-inch round die stocks that accept dies with a 1-inch outside diameter. Cuts 6-32 UNC external threads on machinable metal stock.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced tradesperson should seat the die securely in the appropriate die stock before use. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Inspect the die for chips or wear before each use and replace if cutting edges are damaged. Do not exceed the die's rated capacity by attempting to thread hardened or case-hardened stock.
