Value Collection 314-1148 Round Die 3/8-16 1 in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1148 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on bolts, studs, and round stock. Sized for 3/8-16 UNC thread, it features a 1-inch outside diameter and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability under repeated use. The die is adjustable, allowing minor thread fit corrections to achieve the desired thread tolerance. Right-hand thread cutting makes it compatible with standard fastener applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and tool-and-die professionals use this die type for thread repair and new thread creation on steel, aluminum, and similar metals.

This die is suited for shop and field use wherever 3/8-16 UNC external threads must be cut or restored. Common applications include fabrication work, equipment maintenance, and fastener repair across manufacturing, construction, and general mechanical trades. The 1-inch OD fits standard 1-inch round die holders and threading die stocks commonly found in trade and machine shop environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed to fit standard 1-inch round die holders and threading die stocks used for cutting 3/8-16 UNC external threads.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die holder or die stock before use. Apply cutting oil liberally to the workpiece to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Back the die off periodically during threading to break chips and prevent binding. Inspect the die for wear or damage before each use and replace if teeth are chipped or thread form is degraded.
