Value Collection 314-4761 Round Die M22x1.5 2 Inch Od

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 314-4761 is a round threading die designed to cut external metric fine threads on cylindrical workpieces. Sized at M22x1.5, it produces a 22 mm nominal diameter thread with a 1.5 mm pitch in a left-hand direction. The die is machined from high-speed steel (HSS), which maintains cutting-edge hardness across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. At 2 inches outside diameter and 5/8 inch thickness, it fits standard round die stocks and holders of that size. The adjustable design allows minor pitch-diameter tuning for fit and thread class. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians install this die for fabrication, repair, and custom threading work.

This die is suited for shop and field applications requiring metric fine left-hand threads. Left-hand thread cutting is common in applications where rotational forces would otherwise loosen a standard right-hand fastener, such as certain spindle assemblies, gas fittings, and mechanical linkages. The M22x1.5 specification falls within the metric fine thread standard, making it appropriate for precision assemblies where coarser thread pitches are not acceptable. It can be used in manual die stocks or bench-mounted threading fixtures.

Key Features

• M22x1.5 metric fine thread specification for precision external threading
• Left-hand thread direction for applications requiring reverse-thread engagement
• High-speed steel construction for durability across ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces
• Adjustable die body allows pitch-diameter tuning for thread fit and class
• 2 inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks of that size
• 5/8 inch thickness provides stable cutting geometry and chip clearance

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 2 inch round die stocks and threading handles that accept round adjustable dies of that outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed by machinists or maintenance technicians using a compatible die stock sized for 2 inch OD round dies. Secure the die in the stock using the set screws before beginning the cut, and verify the adjusting screw setting before threading. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to extend die life and improve thread finish. Inspect the workpiece diameter against the M22 nominal tolerance before threading to avoid overloading the cutting edges.
