Value Collection 314-1240 Round Die 1/4-20 Unc Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1240 is a round threading die used to cut or restore external threads on fasteners, rods, and round stock. Made from high-speed steel, this die handles the demands of production threading and field repair work alike. It is configured for 1/4-20 UNC right-hand threads and features an adjustable design that allows the technician to control thread fit and compensate for tool wear. This die is a standard tool for machinists, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and other trades that regularly cut or chase external threads.

This die is suited for use in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field service environments where 1/4-20 UNC external threads need to be cut on new stock or chased on damaged fasteners. The 1/4-20 UNC thread form is one of the most common unified coarse thread sizes in general industrial and mechanical applications. The adjustable construction makes it practical for both roughing and finishing passes in a single tool.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction for durability and resistance to heat generated during threading
• Adjustable design allows thread fit to be tuned and extends usable tool life
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard orientation for 1/4-20 UNC fasteners
• UNC thread standard for broad compatibility with inch-system hardware
• Round die profile fits standard round die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for use with round die stocks and holders sized to accept dies for 1/4-20 UNC threading applications.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and secured in a round die stock or holder before use. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece before threading to reduce heat and extend die life. Ensure the die is properly seated and the adjusting screw is set before starting the cut. Follow standard shop safety practices and wear appropriate eye protection when operating threading tools.
