Value Collection 314-1644 Round Die M8x1 1in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1644 is a round threading die designed to cut external M8x1 metric fine threads on rod, bolt stock, and fastener blanks. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and heat resistance required for repetitive threading in production and repair settings. The die measures 1 inch in outside diameter and features an adjustable design that allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and cutting depth. Right-hand thread direction matches the standard orientation for metric fastener applications. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians use this die with a standard 1-inch round die stock or holder.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials in both shop and field environments. Typical applications include fabricating replacement studs, cleaning damaged threads on metric hardware, and producing custom-length bolts or threaded rod. The M8x1 metric fine specification makes it appropriate for precision assemblies where a coarser thread pitch would compromise clamp load or vibration resistance. It is equally at home on a bench-mounted die stock in a machine shop or in a maintenance technician's portable threading kit.

Key Features

• M8x1 metric fine thread specification for precision threading applications
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance for extended tool life
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread fit and cutting depth
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard metric fastener orientation
• 1 inch outside diameter fits standard 1-inch round die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard shop die for use with 1-inch round die stocks and holders capable of accepting metric fine dies.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die stock before use. Apply cutting oil or thread-cutting fluid to the workpiece to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Back off the die periodically during threading to clear chips and prevent binding. Inspect the workpiece diameter before threading to confirm it meets the recommended blank diameter for M8x1 threads.
