Value Collection 314-1134 Round Die 12-24 1 in Od Hss Unc

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1134 is a round threading die designed to cut external 12-24 Unified National Coarse (UNC) threads on bolts, studs, and round stock. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for threading operations on mild steel, aluminum, and similar materials. The die measures 1 inch in outside diameter and features an adjustable design that allows machinists and mechanics to fine-tune thread fit or take multiple passes for a cleaner cut. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the majority of fastener applications. This die is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and plumbers who need to chase or cut new external threads in the field or at a bench.

This die is suited for threading 12-24 UNC fasteners in light manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations, and trade shop environments. The 1-inch OD fits standard 1-inch die stocks commonly found in hand threading sets. Its adjustable construction makes it practical for both cutting new threads and chasing damaged ones. Typical users include machinists, millwrights, and general maintenance tradespeople working with small-diameter fasteners in metal fabrication or equipment repair scenarios.

Key Features

• 12-24 UNC thread specification for standard coarse-pitch fastener applications
• 1 inch outside diameter fits standard 1-inch die stocks
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for threading ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Adjustable design allows thread tolerance adjustment and multi-pass cutting
• Right-hand thread direction matches the vast majority of standard fastener requirements
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, suitable for hand die stock operation

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1-inch round die stocks that accept 1-inch OD dies. Cuts 12-24 UNC external threads as an OEM-style threading tool for general machining and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a compatible 1-inch die stock before use. Secure the die in the stock using the set screws, and apply cutting oil to the workpiece before threading to reduce heat and improve thread quality. Start the die square to the workpiece to avoid cross-threading. Inspect threads with a go/no-go gauge after cutting to verify fit before assembly.
