Value Collection 314-1732 Round Die M14x1.5 Hss Metric Fine

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1732 is a round threading die used to cut or rethread external M14x1.5 metric fine threads. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and heat resistance needed for threading steel, stainless, and other ferrous metals in production and repair work. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by expanding or compressing the die slightly, accommodating tolerances and reducing tap pressure. This die is sized for standard round die stocks and handles and is a common bench-shop and field tool for machinists, maintenance mechanics, and plumbers working with metric-threaded fasteners and fittings.

This die is suited for cutting right-hand M14x1.5 metric fine threads on bolts, studs, rods, and threaded pipe nipples. Metric fine thread at 1.5 mm pitch is commonly found in automotive, equipment, and precision mechanical assemblies. It is appropriate for light industrial, automotive shop, and maintenance environments where metric fastener repair or fabrication is required. The 1.5 mm pitch designation makes it distinct from the coarser M14x2.0 standard metric thread, so confirm thread pitch before use.

Key Features

• M14x1.5 metric fine thread profile for precision threading applications
• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during cutting
• Adjustable die body allows fine-tuning of thread fit and cutting tolerance
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard orientation for most fastener applications
• Fits standard round die stocks and handles for convenient use

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplementary round die for use in standard round die stocks that accept this die size. Compatible with M14x1.5 metric fine thread applications. Confirm die stock opening diameter before installation.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and driven by a matching die stock handle — do not attempt to turn the die by hand under load. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece before threading to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Secure the workpiece in a vise and start the die squarely to the rod or stud to avoid cross-threading. Periodically back off the die a half turn while threading to break chips and clear the cutting flutes.
