Value Collection 314-1736 Round Die M16x1 Hss Adjustable

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1736 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric fine threads on rod, bolt stock, and round bar stock. Sized for M16x1 thread specification, it is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability under the heat and friction generated during threading operations. The die is adjustable, allowing a machinist or toolroom technician to fine-tune thread fit and cutting tolerance without replacing the die. Right-hand thread direction matches the standard orientation for the vast majority of metric fastener applications.

This die is suited for manual and machine-assisted threading in job shop, maintenance, and production environments. Typical use cases include chasing damaged threads on hydraulic fittings, cutting new threads on threaded rod, or fabricating custom fasteners. The M16x1 metric fine pitch is common in precision mechanical assemblies, automotive components, and instrumentation where a finer thread pitch provides better resistance to vibration loosening compared to coarse-pitch alternatives.

Key Features

• M16x1 metric fine thread specification for precision threading applications
• High-speed steel construction withstands heat buildup during cutting
• Adjustable design allows thread fit tuning without die replacement
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard metric fastener conventions
• Round die form fits standard die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental round die for use in standard round die stocks sized for M16 dies. Confirm die stock bore diameter and set-screw configuration before installation.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed by machinists and toolroom technicians using a compatible die stock or die holder. Secure the die fully in the stock before use and apply appropriate cutting fluid to the workpiece to reduce heat and improve thread finish. Inspect the workpiece diameter against M16 nominal stock dimensions before threading to avoid overloading the die. Always deburr and chamfer the leading end of the workpiece to allow the die to start cleanly.
