Value Collection 84035734 Round Die 3/8-64 1in Od Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 84035734 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolt stock, and cylindrical workpieces. Built from high-speed steel (HSS), this die holds an edge under the heat and friction generated during threading operations, making it suitable for production and repair work in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and maintenance environments. The die cuts a 3/8-64 thread profile with a right-hand thread direction and features an adjustable design that allows the operator to fine-tune thread fit and cutting depth. Outside diameter measures 1 inch, fitting standard 1-inch die stocks and holders.

This die is suited for threading operations where a fine-pitch 3/8-64 thread is required. The 3/8-64 designation indicates a 3/8-inch nominal diameter with 64 threads per inch, a fine unified thread series used in precision mechanical assemblies, instrumentation, and applications where vibration resistance and fine adjustment are priorities. It is appropriate for use in manual die stocks as well as bench-mounted threading setups. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

Key Features

• 3/8-64 thread profile for fine-pitch external threading applications
• High-speed steel construction resists heat and wear during cutting
• Adjustable design allows thread fit and cutting depth to be fine-tuned
• Right-hand thread direction, the standard orientation for most fastener applications
• 1-inch outside diameter fits standard 1-inch die stocks and holders

Compatibility

Designed for use in standard 1-inch round die stocks and holders capable of accommodating a 1-inch OD round die.

Installation Notes

Round threading dies are used by machinists and maintenance technicians and require a properly sized die stock or holder to secure the die during use. Ensure the workpiece diameter is correctly sized to the thread's nominal diameter before threading to avoid die damage or poor thread quality. Apply cutting fluid appropriate for the workpiece material to extend die life and improve thread finish. Inspect the die for chips or wear before each use and adjust the die's set screw to achieve the desired thread fit.
