It is sized for 5\/8-18 UNF (Unified National Fine) thread and manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability under repeated use. The die is adjustable, allowing the operator to fine-tune thread fit or take multiple passes when working harder materials. Right-hand thread direction follows standard UNF convention. This type of die is a common hand-tool and lathe accessory used by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and industrial technicians performing thread repair or fabrication work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die is suited for cutting 5\/8-18 UNF external threads on ferrous and non-ferrous materials in machine shop, maintenance, and field fabrication settings. The 5\/8-18 UNF designation is common in precision fastener applications, including hydraulic fittings, mechanical linkages, and fine-thread fastener repair. It can be used in a standard round die stock holder for hand threading or held in a tailstock die holder on a lathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5\/8-18 UNF thread form for fine-pitch external thread cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction maintains cutting edge under heat and friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable design allows thread fit tuning and multi-pass cutting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction — standard UNF orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound die profile fits standard die stock holders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in standard round die stock holders sized to accept round dies.

Secure the die firmly in the die stock before use and apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend die life and improve thread finish. Start the die squarely on the workpiece to avoid cross-threading. Inspect the die for chipping or wear before each use, and do not force a worn die — replace it to maintain thread accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8-18\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNF (Unified National Fine)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 314-1268\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723141022002,"sku":"314-1268","price":49.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/cf38755e2b6804d6fa691f04404c11cf.jpg?v=1788601170","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-314-1268-round-die-5-8-18-unf-hss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
