Value Collection 315-1279 Round Die 3/4-32 High Speed Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-1279 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bar stock, and fastener blanks. It cuts a 3/4-32 thread profile to the UNS thread standard using a right-hand thread direction. The die is made from high-speed steel, which holds a cutting edge longer than carbon steel and tolerates the heat generated during threading operations. An adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit by opening or closing the die slightly within its holder. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this type of die for threading operations on the bench or in the field.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials in production or repair applications. The 3/4-32 thread is a fine-pitch designation used in precision assemblies, instrumentation fittings, and specialty fastener applications where coarse threads are not appropriate. It fits a standard round die holder sized for 3/4-inch dies. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both initial thread cutting and chasing existing threads to clean up damage or corrosion.

Key Features

• 3/4-32 thread size to UNS thread standard
• High-speed steel construction for extended cutting life and heat resistance
• Adjustable body allows fine-tuning of thread tolerance and fit
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener applications
• Compatible with standard round die holders sized for 3/4-inch dies

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or supplemental round die for use in standard round die holders sized to accept 3/4-inch outside-diameter dies. No specific system or model compatibility was stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized round die holder before starting any threading operation. Apply cutting oil generously to the workpiece and die to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Reverse the die a quarter turn periodically to break chips and prevent binding. This tool should be used by machinists or qualified tradespeople familiar with manual threading procedures and proper workholding techniques.
