Value Collection 314-1780 Round Die M16x1.25 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1780 is a round threading die designed to cut external M16x1.25 metric special threads on bolts, studs, and round stock. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it maintains cutting edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations. The die is adjustable, allowing the technician to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for minor wear over repeated use. Right-hand thread direction makes it compatible with standard fastener applications. Machinists, maintenance mechanics, and tool-and-die workers rely on this die for thread repair and new thread cutting on metal workpieces.

This die is suited for threading operations in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and fabrication environments where M16x1.25 fine-pitch metric threads are required. The M16x1.25 designation indicates a 16 mm nominal diameter with a 1.25 mm thread pitch, which is a fine-pitch metric special standard used in automotive, industrial, and mechanical applications where vibration resistance or precise thread engagement is needed.

Key Features

• M16x1.25 fine-pitch metric special thread form for precise thread cutting
• High-speed steel construction retains hardness at elevated cutting temperatures
• Adjustable die body allows thread fit fine-tuning and extends service life
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener compatibility
• Round die form fits standard round die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental round die for use in standard round die stocks sized to accept M16 dies. Fits tooling setups that require M16x1.25 metric special thread cutting capability.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and secured in a matching die stock before use. Ensure the die stock set screw engages the adjustment slot on the die body to allow proper thread diameter adjustment. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece before threading to reduce heat buildup and improve thread quality. Follow shop safety practices and secure the workpiece firmly before applying torque to the die stock.
