Value Collection 314-1276 Round Die 11/16-16 Unf Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1276 is a round threading die used to cut external threads on bolts, studs, and rod stock. Sized for 11/16-16 UNF thread, it produces right-hand threads to Unified National Fine standards. The die is machined from high-speed steel, which holds a cutting edge at elevated temperatures and delivers consistent thread form across repeated use. An adjustable design allows the user to fine-tune thread fit by slightly expanding or compressing the die body with the set screw on a standard die stock. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, and tool-and-die tradespeople reach for this type of die when threading new fasteners or chasing damaged external threads on equipment in the field or shop.

This die is suited to applications where a 11/16-16 UNF right-hand thread specification is required. UNF threads are common in precision assemblies, aerospace-grade fasteners, hydraulic fittings, and mechanical equipment where a finer thread pitch provides greater holding strength and finer adjustment compared to coarse-series threads. The adjustable body makes it practical for both production threading and repair work, where restoring an existing thread without removing excess material is the goal. Sold as a single die.

Key Features

• 11/16-16 UNF thread size for fine-pitch external threading
• High-speed steel construction maintains cutting edge under heat and repeated use
• Adjustable die body allows thread fit tuning via standard die stock set screw
• Right-hand thread direction matches the vast majority of standard fastener applications
• Round die form compatible with common adjustable die stocks and die holders

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round die for use in adjustable die stocks sized to accept the corresponding die body diameter. Suitable for threading 11/16-16 UNF external threads on steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials.

Installation Notes

Threading dies are installed and operated by machinists or maintenance mechanics familiar with hand threading and tapping procedures. Secure the workpiece firmly before cutting threads, and apply appropriate cutting fluid to extend die life and improve thread finish. Start the die squarely on the stock to avoid cross-threading. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use, and replace when thread form quality degrades.
