Value Collection 315-1263 Round Threading Die 11/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-1263 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on round stock, bolts, and fasteners. It produces 11/16-18 UNEF (Unified Extra Fine) right-hand threads and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability under repeated use. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by expanding or compressing the die slightly, accommodating worn taps or achieving a closer thread tolerance. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians install this die using a standard round die stock or threading handle.

This die is suited for threading operations in maintenance, repair, and fabrication environments where 11/16-18 UNEF external threads are required. The extra-fine thread pitch is common in precision mechanical assemblies, hydraulic fittings, and aerospace-adjacent fastener applications. It is appropriate for use on steel, aluminum, and other machinable metals. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both production threading and field repair work.

Key Features

• 11/16-18 UNEF thread size for extra-fine pitch external threading
• High-speed steel construction resists heat and wear during cutting
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread fit and tolerance
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener convention
• Compatible with standard round die stocks and die holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling option for use with round die stocks and threading handles that accept dies of this type and size class.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or experienced technician should secure the workpiece firmly in a vise before threading. Apply a suitable cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce friction and extend tool life. Start the die square to the workpiece axis to avoid cross-threading. Reverse the die periodically during cutting to break chips and clear debris from the flutes.
