Value Collection 314-1630 Round Die M5x0.5 1 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1630 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric fine threads on rod, bolt stock, and threaded fastener blanks. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for production threading and repair work in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments. The die measures 1 inch in outside diameter, cuts an M5x0.5 thread profile, and features an adjustable design that allows minor diameter tuning for fit and thread class control. Installation and use are handled by machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance technicians.

This die is suited for threading stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, and other common metals encountered in precision machining and industrial maintenance applications. The M5x0.5 metric fine thread standard is widely used in instrumentation, optical equipment, and mechanical assemblies requiring fine thread engagement. The 1-inch OD fits standard round die stocks designed for that dimension, making it compatible with most common die holder sets found in professional toolrooms and field service kits.

Key Features

• M5x0.5 metric fine thread profile for precision external threading
• High-speed steel construction for durability and extended tool life across ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks
• Adjustable design allows thread diameter fine-tuning for fit and thread class
• Right-hand thread direction — the standard for general fastener applications
• Single-piece construction with no replaceable inserts

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stocks accepting a 1-inch outside diameter. Cuts M5x0.5 metric fine external threads on compatible work stock.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in an appropriately sized die stock before use. Apply cutting oil to the work piece and die before threading to reduce heat buildup and extend tool life. Start the die square to the work piece to avoid cross-threading. Periodically clear chips during threading, especially on deeper cuts or softer materials that produce long stringy swarf.
