Value Collection 365-1368 Hex Rethreading Die 1-9/16-18

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 365-1368 is a hex rethreading die designed to restore damaged or corroded external threads without requiring full part replacement. Sized for a 1-9/16-18 thread profile and machined from carbon steel, this die cuts in a right-hand direction to match standard fastener threads. At 1 inch thick, it provides enough contact length to clean and recut threads reliably. Machinists, mechanics, and maintenance technicians use rethreading dies to recover threaded shafts, bolts, and fittings that have sustained thread damage from impact, corrosion, or cross-threading.

This die is suited for shop and field maintenance applications where restoring an existing thread is more practical than replacing the component. The 1-9/16-18 UNEF (Unified Extra Fine) specification makes it appropriate for work on finely threaded fasteners and precision assemblies common in mechanical, hydraulic, and industrial maintenance environments. It is used by machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians working on rotating equipment, hydraulic cylinders, and similar components.

Key Features

• 1-9/16-18 UNEF thread size for extra fine pitch thread restoration
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener orientation
• Carbon steel construction provides hardness suitable for rethreading steel and softer alloy workpieces
• 1 inch thickness delivers adequate thread engagement for consistent cutting action
• Hex body style is compatible with standard die stocks and wrench drives

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard shop die for use with hex die stocks sized to accept 1-9/16-18 external thread dies.

Installation Notes

Rethreading dies are installed and driven by a licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician using a matching die stock or appropriate wrench. Ensure the workpiece is secure and properly deburred before starting the die to avoid cross-threading. Apply cutting oil to the die and workpiece throughout the operation to reduce heat and extend die life. Follow applicable shop safety practices and any relevant facility maintenance standards when working on pressurized or load-bearing components.
