Value Collection 315-1231 Round Die 1/2-24 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-1231 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on cylindrical workpieces. Sized for a 1/2-24 thread specification under the UNS (Unified National Special) standard, this die cuts right-hand threads and features an adjustable design that allows the cutting diameter to be fine-tuned for fit and thread tolerance. Machined from high-speed steel, it holds a sharp cutting edge through repeated use and handles the heat generated during threading operations. It is suited for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and trade professionals who need to chase or create 1/2-24 external threads in the field or on the bench.

This die is appropriate for threading work on bolts, studs, rods, and threaded fittings where a 1/2-24 UNS right-hand thread form is required. The 1/2-24 designation is common in applications requiring a finer thread pitch than standard UNC or UNF series fasteners of the same diameter. It is used by machinists, maintenance mechanics, and trade technicians performing thread repair or custom thread creation on metal stock.

Key Features

• 1/2-24 UNS thread specification for precise thread cutting on half-inch diameter stock
• High-speed steel construction retains cutting edge under heat and repeated use
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread fit and cutting diameter
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation
• Round die form fits standard die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental round die for use in standard round die stocks sized to accept dies of this thread specification. Fits die handles and holders designed for round adjustable dies of compatible outer diameter.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and used by machinists and trade technicians using a matching die stock or die handle. Secure the die firmly in the holder before use and apply cutting oil to the workpiece to reduce heat and improve thread quality. Ensure the workpiece diameter is within the correct tolerance for the thread size before cutting. Inspect the die for wear or chipping before each use to avoid producing out-of-tolerance threads.
