Value Collection 314-1494 Round Die 1-1/2 12 Unf Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1494 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolt stock, and fastener blanks. It produces a 1-1/2-12 UNF right-hand thread profile and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability under the heat and friction generated during threading operations. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by slightly compressing or expanding the die within its holder. This die is used by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals who need to cut or restore unified fine threads on cylindrical workpieces.

This die is suited for use in job shops, maintenance facilities, and field repair applications where 1-1/2-12 UNF external threads are required. The 1-1/2-12 thread form is a unified fine thread series commonly used in applications requiring higher thread engagement and finer thread pitch than coarse-series equivalents. The right-hand thread direction is the standard orientation for the vast majority of mechanical fastening applications. The die is used in a standard round die stock of the appropriate size.

Key Features

• Cuts 1-1/2-12 UNF external right-hand threads
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during threading
• Adjustable die body allows fine-tuning of thread tolerance and fit
• Compatible with standard round die stocks sized for this die diameter
• Right-hand thread direction suits the majority of mechanical assembly applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stocks sized to accept this die. Suitable for cutting 1-1/2-12 UNF external threads on steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by a machinist or qualified mechanic into a matching round die stock before use. Secure the die firmly in the stock using the set screws before beginning any threading operation. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the workpiece and die to reduce heat and extend die life. Inspect the workpiece diameter against published UNF blank diameter specifications before threading to ensure proper thread form.
