Value Collection 314-1728 Round Die M14x1 High Speed Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1728 is a round threading die designed to cut external M14x1 metric fine threads on bolts, studs, and threaded rod stock. Manufactured from high-speed steel, this die maintains cutting edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations, making it suitable for production runs and repeated use in shop or field environments. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for die wear over time. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die workers, maintenance mechanics, and plumbing or mechanical trades that fabricate custom threaded fasteners are the primary users of this type of tooling.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other machinable materials where an M14x1 metric fine thread form is required. The metric fine pitch of 1 mm provides a tighter thread engagement than the coarse M14x2 pitch, making it common in precision assemblies, automotive components, and hydraulic fittings where vibration resistance or fine adjustment is needed. It fits standard round die stocks sized for M14 metric dies.

Key Features

• M14x1 metric fine thread form for precision threaded fastener applications
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during cutting for extended tool life
• Adjustable design allows thread fit tuning and compensation for die wear
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard orientation for most fastener applications
• Metric fine thread standard for use in automotive, hydraulic, and precision mechanical assemblies

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stocks that accept M14 metric dies. Verify die stock bore diameter and set-screw configuration match before use.

Installation Notes

Secure the workpiece in a vise before threading to prevent rotation and ensure straight die alignment. Apply cutting oil generously to the die and workpiece to reduce heat and extend die life. Advance the die in short increments, backing off periodically to break chips, especially in deeper cuts or harder materials. This tooling should be handled and used by personnel familiar with manual threading operations and applicable shop safety practices.
