Value Collection 84046142 Round Die 1-1/8-16 Hss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 84046142 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolt stock, and cylindrical workpieces. Made from high-speed steel (HSS), it maintains cutting hardness under the heat and friction generated during thread chasing and forming operations. This die cuts a 1-1/8-16 right-hand thread conforming to the UNS (Unified National Special) standard. The adjustable design allows the operator to set cutting diameter within a narrow range, enabling cleanup passes or fine-tuning thread fit. Machinists, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians use dies like this in shop and field settings when threading fasteners, fittings, or repair studs.

This die is suited for threading mild steel, aluminum, brass, and similar machinable metals in both production and repair contexts. The 1-1/8-16 UNS specification is a coarser-than-standard pitch for this diameter, commonly encountered in industrial machinery, hydraulic components, and specialty fastener applications. It is used with a compatible round die stock holder sized for the die's outer diameter. A single die is included per package.

Key Features

• High-speed steel construction retains cutting edge hardness at elevated temperatures
• Adjustable die allows fine control over thread fit and enables multi-pass cutting
• Right-hand thread direction - standard for the majority of fastener applications
• UNS thread standard - 1-1/8-16 pitch for specialty industrial and hydraulic applications
• Single-piece package - sold individually for job-specific tooling needs

Compatibility

Designed for use with a standard round die stock holder that accepts the outer diameter of this die. Suitable for cutting 1-1/8-16 UNS right-hand external threads on compatible machinable materials.

Installation Notes

This die is installed and operated by a machinist or skilled tradesperson using a properly sized round die stock holder. Secure the workpiece in a vise or lathe before beginning the threading operation. Apply cutting fluid to the workpiece and die to reduce heat buildup and extend die life. Inspect the die for chips or cracks before each use - a damaged HSS die should not be used, as it can produce out-of-tolerance threads or fracture under load.
