Value Collection 314-1262 Round Die 9/16-12 Unc Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1262 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on bolts, rods, and fasteners. It produces a 9/16-12 UNC right-hand thread profile and is constructed from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability under repeated use and moderate heat. The die features an adjustable design, allowing the operator to fine-tune thread depth and fit for a clean, accurate cut. This type of die is a standard tool for machinists, maintenance technicians, plumbers, and pipe fitters who need to chase or cut new threads on metal stock in the field or shop.

This round die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, and similar metals in applications where 9/16-12 UNC fastener threads are required. Common uses include repairing damaged bolt threads, cutting new threads on all-thread rod, and fabricating custom fasteners. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both new thread cutting and chasing existing threads that are damaged or corroded. It fits standard round die stocks sized for this die diameter.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by a licensed machinist or qualified tradesperson using a round die stock handle. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before threading to prevent movement during the cut. Apply cutting oil generously to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Back off the die periodically during cutting to clear chips and prevent thread damage.
