Value Collection 315-1313 Round Die 13/16-18 2 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-1313 is a round threading die used to cut external threads on rod, bolt stock, and cylindrical workpieces. It produces a 13/16-18 UNS right-hand thread profile and measures 2 inches in outside diameter, fitting standard die stocks and holders designed for that OD. Manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS), the die maintains cutting edge hardness across a range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. The adjustable design allows the technician to fine-tune thread fit by opening or closing the die slightly with the adjustment screw on the die stock. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics are the typical users.

This die is suited for machine shop, maintenance, and field repair applications where a 13/16-18 UNS external thread must be cut or restored. The right-hand thread direction is the standard orientation for the majority of fastener and fitting applications. The 2-inch OD die fits die stocks of corresponding size, making it compatible with common bench and hand threading setups. It is applicable in industrial, mechanical, and trade maintenance environments where replacement or custom-threaded rod stock is required.

Key Features

• 13/16-18 UNS thread size for cutting standard unified national special external threads
• High-speed steel construction provides durability and resistance to heat generated during threading
• 2-inch outside diameter fits standard die stocks sized for 2-inch round dies
• Adjustable design allows thread tolerance fine-tuning via the die stock adjustment screw
• Right-hand thread direction matches the vast majority of standard fastener and fitting applications

Compatibility

Designed to fit standard die stocks and holders with a 2-inch round die capacity. For use cutting 13/16-18 UNS right-hand external threads on compatible workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed and operated by licensed machinists and qualified maintenance mechanics following standard threading procedures. Secure the workpiece firmly before beginning the threading operation and apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece to reduce heat and extend die life. When using the adjustable feature, make small incremental adjustments and test thread fit with a mating nut or fitting before proceeding. Never force the die on a workpiece with an oversized or burred diameter, as this can damage the cutting teeth.
