Value Collection 314-1374 Round Die 7/8-14 2 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1374 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolt stock, and cylindrical workpieces. Sized for a 7/8-14 UNF thread specification with a 2-inch outside diameter, this die fits standard round die stocks and holders used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. Constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), it retains cutting edge hardness under the elevated temperatures generated during threading operations. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune cutting diameter for chasing worn threads or achieving a precise fit on new stock.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials in both production and repair applications. Machinists, tool-and-die technicians, maintenance mechanics, and experienced fabricators use round dies of this type when cutting right-hand external threads to UNF standards. The 7/8-14 UNF pitch is common in automotive, aerospace, and general mechanical fastener applications where fine thread engagement and vibration resistance are required.

Key Features

• 7/8-14 UNF thread specification for fine-pitch external thread cutting
• 2-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders
• High-speed steel construction resists heat and wear during threading
• Adjustable design allows cutting diameter fine-tuning for chasing or new threading
• Right-hand thread direction per UNF standard
• Weighs 0.34 pounds for easy handling in bench and field use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round die compatible with round die stocks and holders accepting a 2-inch OD die. Fits tooling setups used for UNF external threading on 7/8-inch diameter stock.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and driven by a licensed machinist or qualified mechanic using a matching round die stock. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture before threading to prevent movement. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend tool life. Inspect the die for chips or cracks before each use and do not force the die against hardened or oversized stock.
