Value Collection 314-1744 Round Die M18x1.5 Hss Metric Fine

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1744 is an adjustable round threading die ground from high-speed steel (HSS) for cutting external M18x1.5 metric fine threads. The adjustable design allows minor pitch-diameter correction to achieve proper thread fit and compensate for tool wear. Right-hand thread cutting makes it compatible with standard die stocks and die holders used in machine shops, maintenance environments, and field repair work. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics rely on this style of die for threading rod stock, fastener shanks, and repair work on damaged threads.

This die is suited for threading operations on mild steel, aluminum, and similar machinable materials where an M18x1.5 metric fine thread form is required. The metric fine pitch is common in precision assemblies, automotive components, and hydraulic fittings where a finer thread engagement is preferred over the coarse M18x2.5 standard. It is used in both production and repair contexts at the bench or in the field with an appropriate round die stock.

Key Features

• M18x1.5 metric fine thread form for precise thread-engagement applications
• High-speed steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for threading ferrous and non-ferrous materials
• Adjustable split design allows pitch-diameter fine-tuning and accounts for tool wear over time
• Right-hand thread direction compatible with standard round die stocks
• UNSPSC Code 27112805 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use round die for standard round die stocks that accept dies of this thread size and form factor. Confirm die stock bore diameter and set-screw configuration before installation.

Installation Notes

Round threading dies are installed by licensed machinists or qualified maintenance technicians using a matching round die stock. Secure the die in the stock with all set screws fully engaged before starting the cut. Apply cutting oil or threading fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to improve thread finish and extend die life. Inspect the die for cracks or chipped flutes before each use and replace if damaged.
