Value Collection 315-1124 Round Die 1/4-36 1in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-1124 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolts, and fastener stock. It produces a 1/4-36 UNS thread profile with a right-hand thread direction. The die body measures 1 inch in outside diameter and is machined from high-speed steel (HSS), which maintains cutting edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by slightly opening or closing the die body with a setscrew, accommodating minor variance in stock diameter or desired thread tolerance. Machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance trades use this type of die for fabrication, repair, and prototype work.

This die suits bench and handheld threading operations where a 1/4-36 UNS fine-pitch external thread is required. The 1-inch OD fits standard 1-inch round die stocks and holders commonly found in machine shops and trade maintenance environments. The fine 36-pitch thread is used in instrument, optical, and precision mechanical assemblies where a fine thread engagement is critical. Right-hand thread direction is standard for the vast majority of fastener applications in these industries.

Key Features

• 1/4-36 UNS thread form for fine-pitch external threading
• High-speed steel construction for heat resistance and long cutting life
• Adjustable body for thread fit tuning without changing tooling
• Right-hand thread direction — standard for most fastener applications
• 1 inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks
• Weighs 0.5 pounds — compact and easy to handle at the bench

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling addition for any 1-inch round die stock or die holder that accepts 1-inch OD round dies.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a matched 1-inch die stock before beginning threading. Apply cutting oil or thread-cutting fluid to the workpiece and die to extend tool life and produce cleaner threads. Thread a short lead onto the stock first to confirm thread fit before cutting full depth. Inspect and deburr the end of the workpiece before starting to prevent die damage and cross-threading.
