Sized for the 6-48 thread form, it produces right-hand threads conforming to the Unified National Special (UNS) standard. An adjustable design allows the technician to fine-tune the die's cutting diameter for fit tolerance or to take multiple passes on harder stock. This die is a standard toolroom and maintenance consumable used by machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians who need to cut or re-chase small-diameter external threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis die is suited for bench work, drill-press setups, and manual tapping in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and production environments where 6-48 UNS external threads are required. The 6-48 designation indicates a No. 6 nominal diameter with 48 threads per inch, a fine-pitch form common in precision instruments, small fastener applications, and electrical or electronic assemblies where tight thread engagement in a compact footprint is needed. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both new thread cutting and cleanup of damaged threads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during thread cutting and maintains cutting-edge hardness longer than carbon steel alternatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAdjustable die body allows diameter fine-tuning for tolerance control and multi-pass cutting on hard materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRight-hand thread direction — the standard orientation for general fastener and instrument applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-48 UNS thread form: No. 6 nominal diameter at 48 threads per inch, a fine-pitch specification common in precision assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.06 pounds, suitable for use with a standard round die stock handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in any standard round die stock or die holder sized to accept this die's outer diameter.

Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before threading. Apply cutting fluid appropriate to the workpiece material to extend die life and improve thread finish. Inspect the die for cracks or chipped cutting edges before each use and replace if damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6-48\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: UNS (Unified National Special)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Direction\u003c\/strong\u003e: Right Hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High-Speed Steel (HSS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 315-1026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51696269361458,"sku":"315-1026","price":29.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/994dd04aeb3d3b957a31585e744b6c40.jpg?v=1788340811","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-315-1026-round-die-6-48-high-speed-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
