Value Collection 314-1740 Round Die M16x2 High Speed Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1740 is an adjustable round threading die designed to cut external metric coarse threads on bolts, studs, and rod stock. Manufactured from high-speed steel, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for repetitive threading in production and maintenance environments. The die cuts right-hand threads at an M16x2 pitch, meaning a 16 mm nominal diameter with a 2 mm thread pitch. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians use this die with a standard round die stock to chase or cut new threads on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

This die is suited for metalworking shops, industrial maintenance, and field repair applications where metric coarse external threads are required. It is appropriate for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune the thread fit by spreading or closing the die slightly, which is useful for achieving a snug or running fit on mating fasteners. It is typically used in manual die stocks sized for the appropriate die outer diameter.

Key Features

• M16x2 metric coarse thread profile for standard metric fastener applications
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and heat resistance during cutting
• Adjustable die allows minor pitch diameter adjustment for thread fit control
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard metric fasteners
• Designed for use in a matching round die stock or die holder

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use round die for standard metric coarse threading applications requiring an M16x2 profile in a conventional round die stock.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and used by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with manual threading operations. Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die stock before use and apply a suitable cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend die life. Ensure the workpiece is properly clamped and deburred before starting the thread. Do not force the die through material that exceeds its intended hardness range, as this can chip the cutting edges.
