Value Collection 84030567 Round Die 1/4-56 1 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 84030567 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on fasteners, rod stock, and fittings in machine shop and maintenance applications. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), this die holds a sharp cutting edge under the heat and pressure generated during threading operations. It produces a 1/4-56 UNS thread form with a 1-inch outside diameter body that seats in standard 1-inch die stocks. The adjustable design allows the operator to fine-tune cutting diameter for fit and finish. At 0.5 pounds, the die is compact and easy to handle in bench or field setups.

This die is suited for machinists, tool and die technicians, maintenance mechanics, and trade professionals who need to chase or cut 1/4-56 UNS right-hand external threads. The 1/4-56 thread is a fine-pitch unified national special (UNS) form, commonly used in precision instrument work, specialty fastener applications, and custom fabrication where a standard unified thread pitch is not available. The adjustable feature makes it practical for both new thread cutting and chasing worn or damaged threads on existing hardware.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during threading for extended tool life
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of cutting diameter for precise thread fit
• Right-hand thread direction for standard fastener and fitting applications
• 1/4-56 UNS thread form covers specialty fine-pitch applications not addressed by standard UN series
• 1-inch OD body fits commonly available 1-inch round die stocks

Compatibility

Designed to fit standard 1-inch round die stocks used in bench and handheld threading operations for cutting 1/4-56 UNS right-hand external threads.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or qualified maintenance technician should secure workpiece stock firmly in a vise before threading. Apply cutting oil liberally to the die and workpiece to reduce friction, improve thread quality, and extend die life. Reverse the die periodically during cutting to break chips and prevent binding. Inspect the die for chipping or wear before each use, as a damaged HSS cutting edge will produce out-of-tolerance threads.
