Value Collection 314-1380 Round Die 1-12 Unf 2 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1380 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolt stock, and fastener blanks. It produces a 1-12 UNF (Unified National Fine) right-hand thread and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability under high cutting speeds and repeated use. The die measures 2 inches in outside diameter, fitting standard round die stocks and holders of that size. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by opening or closing the die slightly, accommodating minor stock diameter variation or achieving a closer tolerance thread. This die is a standard tool in machining, fabrication, and maintenance shops.

This die is suited for threading operations in metal fabrication, general machining, maintenance and repair, and light manufacturing environments. The 1-12 UNF thread specification is commonly found in precision fastener applications, fine-thread hydraulic fittings, and instrumentation hardware where a finer thread pitch is required compared to UNC equivalents. It is used in shop settings where a drill press, lathe, or hand-held die stock is employed to produce or restore external threads on workpieces up to 1 inch in nominal diameter.

Key Features

• 1-12 UNF right-hand thread specification for fine-pitch external threading
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat and wear during cutting operations
• 2 inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders
• Adjustable design allows thread fit fine-tuning without changing tooling
• Right-hand thread direction suits the vast majority of standard fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round die for use in 2 inch OD round die stocks and holders. Compatible with workpieces requiring a 1-12 UNF external thread profile.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and used by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians. Secure the die firmly in the appropriate 2 inch die stock before use, and ensure the workpiece is properly chamfered at the end to aid thread starting. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend die life. Use the adjusting screw only within the intended range to avoid cracking the die body.
