Value Collection 315-1322 Round Die 7/8-18 2in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-1322 is a round threading die designed for cutting external threads on rod, bolt blanks, and round stock. It produces a 7/8-18 UNS right-hand thread profile and features an adjustable design that allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit without replacing the die. The die body measures 2 inches in outside diameter and is machined from high-speed steel (HSS), which provides the hardness and heat resistance needed for production threading on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. At 0.5 pounds, it is sized for use in standard round die stocks of the matching OD.

This die is suited for machine shops, maintenance facilities, and field fabrication work where 7/8-18 UNS external threads are required. The right-hand thread direction covers the most common fastener and fitting applications. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both single-pass threading and multi-pass cleanup of damaged or undersized threads. It is typically used by machinists, millwrights, and tool-and-die technicians working on threaded rod, hydraulic fittings, and mechanical assemblies.

Key Features

• 7/8-18 UNS right-hand thread specification for precise external thread cutting
• 2-inch outside diameter body fits standard round die stocks of the same OD
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during threading operations
• Adjustable design allows thread fit to be dialed in without swapping dies
• Right-hand thread direction suits the majority of fastener and fitting applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-fit replacement or production die for any standard round die stock that accepts a 2-inch OD round die. No specific model compatibility data was provided in the product input.

Installation Notes

Round dies are installed by machinists or skilled tradespeople into a matching die stock before use. Secure the die firmly in the stock using the set screws before beginning any threading operation, and apply cutting oil liberally to reduce heat and extend die life. When cutting threads, advance in short increments and back off periodically to clear chips and prevent binding. Inspect threads with the appropriate gauge after cutting to verify fit.
