Value Collection 84031300 Round Die 5/16-30 1 Inch Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 84031300 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolt blanks, and cylindrical stock. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it handles the heat and friction generated during threading operations without losing edge hardness. This die cuts a 5/16-30 UNS right-hand thread profile and features an adjustable design that allows minor diameter compensation for thread fit. The 1-inch outside diameter fits standard round die stocks used in manual threading work. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use this type of die for fabrication, repair, and custom fastener work in shop and field settings.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable materials in the 5/16-inch diameter range. The 5/16-30 UNS thread form is a Unified National Special designation, used in applications where a non-standard thread pitch is required. The right-hand thread direction is the conventional cutting orientation. It is appropriate for both bench-mounted die stocks and hand-held die holders in production and maintenance environments.

Key Features

• 5/16-30 UNS thread specification for non-standard pitch threading applications
• High-speed steel construction maintains cutting edge at elevated operating temperatures
• Adjustable design allows fine-tuning of thread diameter for fit tolerance
• Right-hand thread direction — compatible with standard die stocks and holders
• 1-inch outside diameter fits common round die stocks

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 1-inch OD round die for use in die stocks and die holders that accept 1-inch round dies. Cuts 5/16-30 UNS right-hand threads.

Installation Notes

Install the die into a properly sized round die stock before use, ensuring the set screws engage the die adjustment slots securely. Apply cutting fluid to the workpiece before threading to extend die life and improve thread quality. Secure the workpiece in a vise before applying the die stock. Follow standard shop safety practices including eye protection when cutting threads manually.
