Value Collection 314-1619 Round Die M3x0.35 Hss Metric

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1619 is an adjustable round threading die ground from high-speed steel (HSS) for cutting external M3x0.35 metric fine threads. The die produces right-hand threads and is sized for use in a standard round die stock holder. High-speed steel construction provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for threading steel, stainless, brass, and aluminum in production or repair settings. The adjustable design allows the technician to fine-tune thread fit across rough, finish, and final pass cuts without changing tools. This die suits machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals who cut metric fastener threads in the field or at the bench.

The 314-1619 is intended for cutting M3x0.35 metric fine external threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod. Metric fine thread series are common in precision assemblies, instrumentation, and equipment where a finer thread pitch provides tighter fastener control. This die is appropriate for single-piece repair work, production threading runs, and re-chasing damaged threads on existing fasteners. It is sold individually and is compatible with standard round die holders sized for this die diameter.

Key Features

• M3x0.35 metric fine thread specification for precision threading applications
• High-speed steel construction for durability and resistance to heat buildup during cutting
• Adjustable design allows control over thread fit across rough, finish, and final passes
• Right-hand thread direction — standard for the vast majority of fastener applications
• Metric fine thread standard suitable for instrumentation and precision assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stock holders sized to accept this die. Suitable for threading M3x0.35 metric fine external threads on steel, stainless steel, brass, and aluminum workpieces.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized round die holder before use. Apply cutting oil generously to the workpiece and die to reduce heat, extend die life, and produce a cleaner thread form. Advance the die in short increments, backing off periodically to break chips and prevent binding. Inspect the die for chipping or wear before each use — a damaged die will produce undersized or malformed threads.
