Value Collection 314-1685 Round Die M6x1.25 1 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1685 is a round threading die designed to cut external M6x1.25 metric threads on round stock, bolts, and fastener blanks. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), this die holds a cutting edge under heat and friction generated during threading operations. The 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders sized for 1-inch dies. The adjustable design allows a machinist or toolmaker to fine-tune thread fit by slightly opening or closing the die body using the stock set screws. Right-hand thread direction is the standard for most metric fastener applications.

This die is suited for job shops, maintenance departments, and production environments where M6x1.25 metric threads need to be cut or restored on steel, aluminum, brass, or other machinable materials. It is a common choice for general-purpose threading on bolts, studs, and rod stock. The metric special thread standard makes it appropriate for applications requiring M6x1.25 compliance rather than unified or standard coarse-thread profiles.

Key Features

• M6x1.25 metric thread size for cutting standard M6 external threads
• 1-inch outside diameter fits common round die stocks and holders
• High-speed steel construction resists heat and wear during threading
• Adjustable body allows fine-tuning of thread tolerance and fit
• Right-hand thread direction for standard metric fastener applications
• Metric special thread standard for M6x1.25 compliance

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1-inch round die stocks and holders. Cuts M6x1.25 right-hand external threads on machinable metals including steel, aluminum, and brass.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die stock before use. Apply cutting fluid to the workpiece and die to reduce friction and extend tool life. Ensure the workpiece diameter is chamfered at the lead end to allow the die to start squarely. When adjusting thread fit, use the die stock set screws to open or close the die body incrementally before making a final pass.
