Value Collection 314-1726 Round Die M12x1.75 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1726 is a round threading die sized M12x1.75, manufactured from high-speed steel for cutting metric coarse external threads. It produces right-hand threads on bolts, studs, rods, and fastener stock. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune the cutting diameter for fit and finish, making it suitable for both cutting new threads and chasing damaged ones. At 0.18 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece tool used in machine shops, fabrication environments, and field maintenance operations by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians.

This die is intended for metric coarse threading applications where an M12x1.75 thread profile is required. Typical use cases include manufacturing replacement fasteners, repairing threaded rod ends, and preparing fastener stock during equipment assembly or overhaul. It is suited for use with a standard round die stock holder that accepts the appropriate die diameter. The adjustable feature is particularly useful when working with harder materials that benefit from a gradual cut approach across multiple passes.

Key Features

• M12x1.75 metric coarse thread profile for standard metric fastener sizing
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance during thread cutting
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of cutting diameter for fit and multi-pass cutting
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener convention
• Compact and lightweight at 0.18 pounds for easy handling and storage

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stock holders that accommodate the appropriate die outer diameter. Suitable for cutting or chasing M12x1.75 metric coarse external threads on steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by a machinist or maintenance technician into a compatible round die stock holder. Secure the die firmly in the holder using the set screws before beginning thread cutting. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece and die to reduce friction, extend tool life, and improve thread quality. Inspect the die for chips or wear before each use to avoid producing out-of-tolerance threads.
