Value Collection 314-4132 Round Die 10-32 1 in Od Hss Left Hand

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-4132 is a round threading die designed to cut 10-32 UNF left-hand external threads on cylindrical workpieces. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), this die maintains cutting-edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by compressing or expanding the die within its holder. With a 1-inch outside diameter, the die seats in standard 1-inch round die stocks. Machinists, tool-and-die workers, and maintenance technicians use round dies like this for both production threading and field repair work.

This die is suited for threading steel, aluminum, brass, and other machinable metals where a left-hand 10-32 UNF thread form is required. Left-hand thread dies are used in applications where counter-rotation or vibration would loosen a standard right-hand fastener, such as certain mechanical linkages, bicycle components, and specialty fixtures. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both roughing and finishing passes on the same tool.

Key Features

• 10-32 UNF thread form for fine-pitch external thread cutting
• Left-hand thread direction for counter-rotation applications
• High-speed steel construction retains hardness and edge life under cutting heat
• Adjustable design allows thread-fit fine-tuning without changing tools
• 1-inch outside diameter fits standard 1-inch round die stocks

Compatibility

Designed to seat in standard 1-inch round die stocks compatible with 10-32 UNF thread dies. No specific model or brand compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Threading operations should be performed by a machinist or qualified technician familiar with proper die stock use, cutting fluid application, and thread gauging. Secure the workpiece firmly before applying the die to prevent movement and thread damage. Use an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend die life and improve thread quality. Inspect the die for chips or wear before each use, and do not force a worn or damaged die.
