Value Collection 314-1358 Round Die 1/2-20 Unf 2 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1358 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, pipe, and fastener stock. It cuts a 1/2-20 UNF right-hand thread profile and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability across a range of workpiece materials including mild steel, aluminum, and brass. The die measures 2 inches in outside diameter, fitting standard die stocks and holders designed for that OD. An adjustable set screw allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for tool wear over time. Weight is 0.5 pounds.

This die is suited for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where UNF threaded fasteners or fittings need to be threaded directly onto stock. It is appropriate for bench-mounted die stock use or compatible threading fixtures. Typical applications include creating replacement threaded shafts, repairing damaged thread ends, and threading new stock to 1/2-20 UNF specification. Both trade professionals and skilled toolroom personnel use this type of die for precision threading work.

Key Features

• 1/2-20 UNF thread standard for fine-pitch external threading
• 2 inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders
• High-speed steel construction for heat resistance and extended tool life
• Adjustable design allows thread fit tuning via set screw
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or additional round die for use in 2 inch OD die stocks and holders that accept the 1/2-20 UNF thread size.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolroom machinists or qualified maintenance technicians. Secure the die firmly in the die stock before use and ensure the workpiece is properly clamped. Apply cutting fluid to the workpiece to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Inspect the die for chips or cracks before each use and do not exceed the feed rate appropriate for the workpiece material.
