Value Collection 314-1899 Round Die M38x1.5 Hss 2.5 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-1899 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric fine threads at a size of M38x1.5. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers consistent cutting performance on a variety of metal workpieces. The die measures 2.5 inches in outside diameter, fitting standard round die stocks sized for that OD. It is adjustable, allowing the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for minor wear. This type of tooling is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, pipefitters, and tool and die tradespeople who need to produce or restore metric fine threads in shop and field settings.

This die is suited for cutting M38x1.5 metric fine right-hand external threads on bolts, studs, shafts, and threaded rod. The metric fine thread standard provides finer pitch than coarse metric, which is common in applications requiring greater thread engagement strength or fine adjustment capability. It is appropriate for use in manufacturing, maintenance and repair operations, and precision mechanical assemblies where metric fine thread forms are specified.

Key Features

• M38x1.5 metric fine thread size for external threading operations
• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during cutting
• Adjustable design allows thread fit fine-tuning
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard orientation for most fastener applications
• 2.5 inch outside diameter fits common round die stocks designed for that OD
• Single-piece packaging suitable for individual use or tool crib stocking

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stocks that accept a 2.5 inch outside diameter die. Intended for cutting M38x1.5 metric fine right-hand external threads.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and used by machinists and maintenance technicians using a compatible die stock or die holder sized for a 2.5 inch OD. Secure the die firmly in the stock using the set screws before threading operations. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the workpiece to reduce heat and extend die life. Inspect the workpiece diameter against M38 thread specifications before cutting to avoid overloading the die.
