Value Collection 314-1635 Round Die M5x1 1 in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1635 is a round threading die designed to cut external M5x1 metric threads on bolts, studs, and round stock. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for repeated use on steel, stainless, aluminum, and other common shop materials. The 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders. The adjustable design allows minor pitch diameter adjustments for fine-tuning thread fit or accommodating tool wear. This die is suited for machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals who need reliable field or shop threading capability.

This die is used wherever M5x1 external threads must be cut or restored — including threaded rod fabrication, fastener repair, and custom bolt production. It is appropriate for both light production and maintenance applications in mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trade environments. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of metric fastener applications.

Key Features

• M5x1 metric thread profile for cutting standard 5 mm diameter external threads
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and thermal resistance for extended tool life
• 1-inch OD fits most standard round die stocks and holders
• Adjustable design allows pitch diameter fine-tuning without replacing the die
• Right-hand thread direction — compatible with standard metric fastener assemblies
• Metric Special thread standard for precise conformance to metric specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for any round die stock or holder accepting a 1-inch outside diameter round die.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a matching round die stock of the correct OD. Ensure the workpiece is securely held and properly chamfered before starting the die to reduce chatter and cross-threading. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend die life and improve thread finish. Never force the die; back off periodically to clear chips, especially in deeper cuts.
