Value Collection 314-4022 Round Die 6-32 Unc Left Hand Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-4022 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads in the 6-32 Unified National Coarse (UNC) specification with a left-hand thread direction. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this die offers the hardness and wear resistance needed for threading steel, aluminum, and similar workpiece materials in a production or maintenance environment. The adjustable design allows the cutting diameter to be fine-tuned for fit and thread class, extending usable die life and accommodating variation in stock diameter. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians use this type of die for fabricating or restoring left-hand threaded fastener locations on mechanical assemblies.

This die is suited for applications where left-hand thread engagement is required, such as rotating shaft components, counterbalance mechanisms, or specialty fastener assemblies that use reverse-thread fasteners to prevent loosening under rotational load. The 6-32 thread size is commonly encountered in light mechanical assemblies, instrument enclosures, and small equipment. This die is used in both shop and field maintenance settings where an external left-hand thread must be cut or re-chased on a workpiece.

Key Features

• Left-hand thread direction for reverse-thread fastener applications
• 6-32 UNC thread specification for light mechanical and instrument assembly use
• High-speed steel construction for hardness and extended cutting life
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread fit and cutting diameter
• Round die form fits standard round die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement round die for use in standard round die stocks and holders sized for this die form factor.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and driven by a matching die stock or die holder; confirm the die stock accommodates the outer diameter of this round die before use. Secure the adjusting screw to set the desired thread fit before beginning the cut. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to reduce heat and improve thread finish. Verify thread direction requirements before cutting, as left-hand threads are not interchangeable with right-hand threads.
