Value Collection 315-1135 Round Die 5/16-32 1 in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-1135 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, pipe, and fastener stock. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), it produces 5/16-32 threads conforming to the UNEF (Unified Extra Fine) thread standard. The 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks used in machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field repair work. The adjustable design allows the machinist to fine-tune thread fit and compensate for minor wear over the die's service life. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and maintenance mechanics are the primary users of this tooling.

This die is suited for cutting right-hand external threads on small-diameter workpieces where an extra-fine thread pitch is required. Typical applications include instrument components, precision assemblies, and hydraulic or pneumatic fittings where 5/16-32 UNEF threading is specified. The 1-inch OD format is compatible with common bench-type and handheld die stocks that accept 1-inch round dies.

Key Features

• 5/16-32 UNEF thread form for extra-fine pitch external threading
• High-speed steel construction for hardness and wear resistance on ferrous and non-ferrous stock
• Adjustable design allows thread fit tuning and compensates for die wear
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard for most threaded fastener applications
• 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stock holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1-inch round die stocks that accept dies conforming to the UNEF thread standard. Suitable for cutting 5/16-32 right-hand external threads on compatible workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized die stock before use and verify the set screw engages the adjustment slot. Apply appropriate cutting fluid to the workpiece to extend die life and improve thread finish. Start the die square to the workpiece axis to prevent cross-threading. Follow shop safety practices and wear appropriate eye protection when cutting threads.
