Value Collection 314-1722 Round Die M12x1.25 Hss Metric Fine

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1722 is a round threading die designed to cut external M12x1.25 metric fine threads on bolts, studs, and round stock. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for threading steel, stainless, aluminum, and similar materials in production or repair applications. The adjustable design allows the cutting diameter to be fine-tuned for thread fit and to extend die service life by compensating for wear. Installation is performed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and trade professionals working on threaded fastener fabrication or field repairs.

This die is suited for applications requiring metric fine thread profiles in residential maintenance, light manufacturing, and field service environments. The M12x1.25 pitch is common in automotive, mechanical, and industrial assemblies where a finer thread pitch than the standard M12x1.75 coarse is specified. It is used in any setting where new external threads must be cut or existing damaged threads must be chased and restored on 12 mm diameter stock.

Key Features

• M12x1.25 metric fine thread specification for precise thread cutting on 12 mm stock
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance during cutting
• Adjustable die allows fine-tuning of cutting diameter for thread fit and extended tool life
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation
• Metric fine thread standard suitable for automotive and industrial fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard round die for use with any die stock or die holder accepting a round die of the appropriate outside diameter. Suitable for cutting M12x1.25 metric fine right-hand external threads on compatible round stock.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and used by machinists or trade professionals familiar with thread-cutting procedures. Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die stock before use and apply cutting oil to the workpiece to reduce friction and improve thread finish. Ensure the workpiece diameter is chamfered at the lead end to help the die start squarely. Inspect the die and die stock for wear or damage before each use to avoid producing out-of-tolerance threads.
