A 1-inch outside diameter adjustable die is typically tapered. This taper allows for gradual cutting of threads, which helps reduce strain on the tool and material. However, many adjustable dies are also designed with a slight split or gap that can be adjusted using a screw, allowing for minor tweaks to the thread fit or depth. If you need a straight die (non-tapered), you'd typically look for a different type of die, such as a solid die, which is designed for creating full-depth threads in one pass.
