Value Collection 314-1142 Round Die 1/4-28 Unf 1 in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1142 is a round threading die used to cut or recut external threads on bolts, studs, rods, and fasteners. Made from high-speed steel, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for threading steel, iron, and similar materials. The die is sized at 1/4-28 UNF, designating a one-quarter-inch nominal thread with 28 threads per inch, and features a 1-inch outside diameter for use in standard 1-inch die stocks and holders. The adjustable design allows the cutting diameter to be fine-tuned for thread fit. This is a right-hand thread die, suitable for standard thread direction cutting operations in machine shops, maintenance shops, and field service environments.

This die is intended for applications requiring UNF threads on small-diameter fasteners and threaded rod. The 1/4-28 thread specification is common in precision and fine-thread fastener work across general manufacturing, automotive, and mechanical assembly. It is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need to chase damaged threads or cut new threads from scratch. The 1-inch OD fits into standard round die stocks, making it compatible with common hand tooling already found in most shops and service vehicles.

Key Features

• 1/4-28 UNF thread specification for fine-pitch external thread cutting
• 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders
• High-speed steel construction for hardness and extended cutting life
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread cutting diameter
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1-inch round die stocks. Compatible with applications requiring 1/4-28 UNF external threads on steel, iron, and similar workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by machinists or maintenance technicians using a matching 1-inch round die stock. Secure the die in the stock before use and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend tool life and improve thread finish. When adjusting the die for diameter, make small incremental changes and test on scrap material before cutting final threads. Inspect the die for wear or chipping regularly, as a damaged cutting edge will produce undersized or malformed threads.
