Value Collection 315-1623 Round Die 1-5/8-12 3 Inch Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315-1623 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bar stock, and fastener blanks. It produces a 1-5/8-12 UNS thread profile with a right-hand thread direction. The die measures 3 inches in outside diameter and is manufactured from high-speed steel (HSS) for durability across a range of workpiece materials. An adjustable design allows the cutting action to be fine-tuned for fit and finish. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians rely on this style of die for threading operations in production and repair environments.

This die is suited for threading operations on mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials in machine shop, maintenance, and fabrication settings. The 1-5/8-12 thread size makes it applicable for larger-diameter fasteners and threaded rod assemblies requiring a fine-pitch UNS thread. It fits standard 3-inch OD round die stocks and holders commonly found in shop tooling inventories.

Key Features

• 1-5/8-12 UNS thread size for fine-pitch external threading on larger-diameter stock
• 3-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks designed for 3-inch dies
• High-speed steel construction provides wear resistance during threading operations
• Adjustable design allows minor pitch diameter adjustment for thread fit control
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener applications

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 3-inch OD round die stocks and holders. Compatible with workpieces requiring a 1-5/8-12 UNS right-hand external thread form.

Installation Notes

Secure the die firmly in a properly sized round die stock before use. Apply cutting fluid to the workpiece to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Adjust the die set screw incrementally and verify thread fit with a mating nut or thread gauge before committing to a final cut. Follow shop safety practices when operating threading equipment, including securing the workpiece against rotation.
