Lathe Tail Stock Round Die Holder
« on: June 09, 2021, 10:24:55 AM »
A while back I ordered a tail stock die holder, that holds 13/16”, 1”, 1-5/16” and 1-1/2” round dies for threading on the lathe. I had almost forgotten about it, because of a roughly 6 weeks delay in shipping. It arrived this week, it was exactly what I expected and what I wanted. I have a similar set up, but it has joined the legion of the mis-placed/lost, so I expect that within the next week or so, it will turn up. I was happy to see, I had ordered it correctly with a MT#3 arbor.

I used it today, it worked as expected, while not a everyday tool, it is a useful tool to have.

Definitely a cool gadget Jack. Never seen one myself, but have watched a few youTube vids on their usage.
