Value Collection 314-1739 Round Die M15x1 High Speed Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1739 is a round threading die designed to cut external M15x1 metric fine threads on rod, bolt blanks, and round stock. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it maintains cutting-edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations. The adjustable design allows the operator to set thread fit by slightly compressing or expanding the die body using a set screw on the die holder. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of threaded fastener applications. This die is used by machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance mechanics who need to produce or restore precision metric threads.

The 314-1739 is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. It fits standard round die stocks sized for the appropriate die outer diameter. Typical applications include fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and production environments where M15x1 metric fine thread forms are required. The metric fine pitch of 1 mm provides finer thread engagement compared to coarse-pitch equivalents, making it appropriate for applications requiring higher thread strength or finer adjustment.

Key Features

• M15x1 metric fine thread form for precise external thread cutting
• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during cutting
• Adjustable body allows thread fit tuning without replacing the die
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener convention
• Compact, lightweight design at 0.1 pounds

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stocks that accept the appropriate outer diameter. Suitable for cutting M15x1 metric fine external threads on machinable metal stock in fabrication and maintenance applications.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized round die stock before beginning thread cutting. Apply cutting oil generously to the workpiece and die to reduce heat buildup and improve thread finish. Advance the die in short increments, backing off periodically to break chips and clear the flutes. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use and replace if cutting performance degrades.
