5/16"-32 HSS Adjustable Threading Die

This high-speed steel round die cuts 5/16"-32 threads on pipes, rods or tubing. It is designed for mechanics, plumbers and maintenance technicians who need to create or repair external threads in workshop or field conditions.

Chamfered faces for controlled engagement

One face offers a 2 to 3 thread lead for starting new threads, while the opposite face provides a 1 to 1-1/2 thread lead for work close to a shoulder. The fine-pitch adjustment screw expands or closes the die, maintaining consistent pitch diameter during extended cutting sessions.

HSS construction resists wear on hard materials

The round profile fits standard die stocks and machine holders; the beveled adjustment slot permits holder-based calibration when the set screw is removed. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for cancer and reproductive-harm substances.

Questions about this item

Does the 5/16"-32 HSS die generate noticeable heat or vibration during extended hand-threading sessions?

High-speed steel resists heat buildup better than carbon steel, and the adjustable design lets you take lighter cuts to keep temperature and vibration low during long runs.

What holder or handle is required to turn this 1-1/2" OD round die?

A standard 1-1/2" outside-diameter die stock or machine holder with internal adjusting screws accepts the die; the bevelled slot allows the holder's screws to control adjustment.

Will the 5/16"-32 thread form match older UNF taps and bolts already in my toolbox?

Yes, the die cuts a standard 5/16"-32 UNF thread, so it pairs directly with existing UNF taps, bolts and nuts of the same size and pitch.
