Value Collection 314-4360 Round Die 5/8-11 2 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-4360 is a round threading die designed to cut external left-hand threads on cylindrical workpieces. It is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), which provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for threading operations on steel, iron, and similar materials. The die measures 2 inches in outside diameter and cuts a 5/8-11 thread form to the Unified National Coarse (UNC) standard. An adjustable design allows the cutting diameter to be fine-tuned for thread fit and to compensate for wear. This die is used by machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance tradespeople who need to produce or restore left-hand external threads.

This die is suited for shop and field threading work where a left-hand UNC thread is required. Left-hand thread applications include situations where standard right-hand threads would loosen under rotational load, such as certain mechanical linkages, turnbuckles, and equipment retention fasteners. The 2-inch OD fits standard round die stocks and holders designed for that size. It is appropriate for both production and repair threading tasks in manufacturing, maintenance, and trade environments.

Key Features

• Cuts 5/8-11 UNC left-hand external threads
• High-speed steel construction for durability and heat resistance during threading
• 2-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread fit and cutting diameter
• Left-hand thread direction for applications requiring reverse-thread fastening

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard round die stocks and holders that accept a 2-inch OD die. Suitable for cutting 5/8-11 UNC left-hand external threads on compatible workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by machinists or skilled tradespeople using a compatible round die stock. Secure the die in the holder before beginning threading, and confirm the adjustable screw setting before cutting to avoid oversized or undersized threads. Apply appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend die life and improve thread quality. Inspect the die for wear or damage before each use.
