Value Collection 315-1277 Round Die 3/4-28 High Speed Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-1277 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolts, and fastener stock. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it delivers the hardness and wear resistance needed for threading ferrous and non-ferrous metals in shop or field applications. The die is configured for a 3/4-28 thread specification, meaning a 3/4-inch nominal diameter with 28 threads per inch — a fine-pitch profile common in precision mechanical and firearm-related fastener work. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune cutting diameter for proper thread fit. This die is used by machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and skilled tradespeople performing threading operations.

This die is suited for manual or machine-assisted threading tasks where a 3/4-28 right-hand thread profile is required. Typical applications include threading steel rod, stainless stock, aluminum bar, and similar materials in production or repair settings. The right-hand thread direction conforms to the standard fastener convention used across most mechanical assemblies. The adjustable feature makes it useful when threading softer or harder materials that may require a tighter or looser cutting tolerance.

Key Features

• 3/4-28 thread specification: 3/4-inch diameter, 28 threads per inch fine pitch
• High-speed steel construction for extended tool life on metal threading operations
• Adjustable die body allows operator to dial in cutting diameter for thread fit
• Right-hand thread direction — standard fastener convention
• Round die form factor compatible with standard die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard tooling addition for use with round die stocks and holders sized to accept 3/4-28 round threading dies.

Installation Notes

Threading dies are installed and operated by machinists or qualified tradespeople using a properly sized die stock or holder. Secure the workpiece in a vise before beginning the threading pass. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Turn the die stock in a controlled, steady motion — back off periodically to break chips and prevent thread damage.
