Value Collection 314-4126 Round Die 8-32 Unc 1 in Od Left Hand Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-4126 is a round threading die designed to cut 8-32 UNC external threads in a left-hand direction. Manufactured from high speed steel (HSS), this die delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for threading steel, aluminum, brass, and similar materials. The 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by opening or closing the die slightly for a tighter or looser thread engagement. This tool is a staple in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and trade work where left-hand threaded fasteners are required.

This die is suited for applications where standard right-hand threads are not appropriate, such as turnbuckles, specialized mechanical assemblies, and installations where counter-rotation would loosen a conventional fastener. It is used by machinists, maintenance technicians, plumbers, and general tradespeople who need to cut or recut 8-32 UNC left-hand external threads by hand or with a die stock. The 1-inch OD fits widely available round die holders found in most shop environments.

Installation Notes

This die is installed by a machinist or trained technician using a properly sized round die stock or die holder. Secure the die firmly in the holder using the set screws before beginning thread cutting. Apply cutting oil to the workpiece and die to reduce heat and extend tool life. Always back off the die periodically to clear chips and prevent thread damage.
