Value Collection 314-1356 Round Die 1/2-13 2in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1356 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on fasteners, studs, and round stock. Sized for 1/2-13 UNC thread form, it features a 2-inch outside diameter and is machined from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability under repeated use. The adjustable design allows the cutting diameter to be fine-tuned for thread fit and to compensate for wear. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of fastener applications. This die is a standard shop tool used by machinists, maintenance mechanics, pipefitters, and fabricators working in trade and industrial environments.

This die is suited for threading operations on mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials in shop or field settings. It fits standard 2-inch round die stocks and holders. Typical applications include chasing damaged threads on bolts and all-thread rod, cutting new threads on turned stock, and general repair and fabrication work. The 1/2-13 UNC size is one of the most common unified coarse thread specifications used in structural and mechanical fastening.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by machinists or skilled tradespeople using a compatible die stock or holder. Secure the die firmly in the stock before use and apply cutting oil to the workpiece to reduce heat and extend tool life. Start the die squarely on the workpiece to avoid cross-threading. Inspect the adjusting screw setting before cutting to ensure correct thread fit.
