Value Collection 314-1144 Round Die 5/16-18 1in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1144 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on bolts, studs, and rod stock. Made from high-speed steel, it is built to handle the heat and wear demands of repetitive threading work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The die cuts a 5/16-18 thread profile per the Unified National Coarse standard with a right-hand thread direction. At 1 inch outside diameter, it seats in standard 1-inch die stocks. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for tool wear, extending useful service life. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and experienced trade professionals perform this type of work.

This die is suited to job-shop, maintenance, and field threading tasks where a 5/16-18 UNC external thread is required. Typical applications include rethreading damaged fasteners, threading new rod or bolt blanks, and fabrication work where standard UNC fastener sizing is specified. The 1-inch OD makes it compatible with widely available commercial die stocks that accept 1-inch round dies.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction handles heat buildup during threading operations
• Adjustable design allows thread fit tuning and compensates for wear
• 5/16-18 UNC thread standard for common fastener compatibility
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener applications
• 1-inch outside diameter fits standard commercial die stocks

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1-inch round die stocks; cuts 5/16-18 UNC external right-hand threads on bolt blanks, rod stock, and threaded fasteners.

Installation Notes

Threading dies are used by machinists and maintenance technicians working on threaded fastener fabrication or repair. Secure the workpiece firmly before threading to prevent movement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the die and workpiece to reduce heat and improve thread finish. Inspect the die for chipping or excessive wear before use, and confirm the die stock is properly sized and locked before applying torque.
