Value Collection 314-4632 Round Die M5x0.8 1 in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-4632 is a round threading die designed to cut M5x0.8 metric coarse left-hand external threads. The die measures 1 inch in outside diameter and 3/8 inch in thickness. It is constructed from high-speed steel (HSS), which maintains cutting hardness under the friction and heat generated during threading operations. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for die wear. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians use this die for fabrication, repair, and custom threading work on metal fasteners and threaded rod.

This die is suited for metric coarse threading applications where a left-hand thread direction is required — common in applications where counter-rotation would loosen a standard right-hand fastener, such as certain bicycle components, turnbuckles, and rotating shaft assemblies. It fits standard 1-inch round die stocks and holders. The M5x0.8 specification indicates a 5 mm nominal diameter with a 0.8 mm thread pitch, consistent with ISO metric coarse thread standards.

Key Features

• M5x0.8 metric coarse thread form for precise, standard-compliant thread cutting
• Left-hand thread direction for applications requiring reverse-thread fastening
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup and maintains cutting edge integrity
• Adjustable die body allows thread fit fine-tuning and compensation for wear
• 1 inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks and holders
• 3/8 inch thickness suits typical die stock depth requirements

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 1-inch round die stocks and holders compatible with metric coarse M5x0.8 left-hand threading applications.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by machinists or skilled maintenance technicians using a compatible round die stock. Secure the die firmly in the stock before use and apply appropriate cutting fluid to the workpiece to reduce friction and extend die life. Always confirm thread direction requirements before cutting — left-hand threads cannot be corrected by reversing a right-hand die. Inspect the die and workpiece for burrs or contamination before each use.
