Value Collection 84048163 Round Threading Die 1-7/8-14

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 84048163 is a round threading die designed to cut external threads on rod, bolt stock, and cylindrical workpieces. This die is sized for a 1-7/8-14 thread specification, meaning a 1-7/8 inch nominal diameter with 14 threads per inch. The 3 inch outside diameter body seats securely in a standard die stock or holder of matching size. Constructed from high-speed steel, it maintains cutting edge hardness under the heat generated during threading operations. The adjustable design allows for minor thread tolerance adjustments. Thread direction is right hand, which is standard for the vast majority of fastener and fitting applications. Machinists, pipefitters, and tool and die technicians are the primary users.

This die suits shop and field applications where right-hand external threads at the 1-7/8-14 pitch are required. Common use cases include threading hydraulic and pneumatic cylinder rods, custom fastener fabrication, and repair of damaged threads on shafts or fittings. The 3 inch OD is a widely used die frame size found in professional die stocks. It is appropriate for use in manual or supported hand-threading operations on compatible materials including steel, stainless, aluminum, and brass, depending on cutting fluid used and operator technique.

Key Features

• 1-7/8-14 thread size: 1-7/8 inch nominal diameter at 14 threads per inch
• 3 inch outside diameter fits standard die stocks designed for that frame size
• High-speed steel construction resists heat buildup during cutting operations
• Adjustable design allows thread tolerance fine-tuning without replacing the die
• Right-hand thread direction matches standard fastener and fitting conventions
• Weighs 0.5 pounds, suitable for bench or portable die stock use

Compatibility

Designed for use in any die stock or die holder with a 3 inch round die seat. Suitable for cutting 1-7/8-14 right-hand external threads on compatible workpiece materials.

Installation Notes

Threading dies should be installed and secured in a properly sized die stock before use. Secure the workpiece in a vise or fixture to prevent movement during threading. Apply an appropriate cutting fluid for the workpiece material to reduce heat and extend die life. Inspect the die for chips or damage before each use, as a compromised cutting edge will produce out-of-tolerance threads.
