Industrial Tailstock Die Holder

Description

• Holds 13/16″ and 1″ round dies
• Holds dies in alignment when threading on the lathe
• 2 Morse taper shank fits the mini lathe tailstock
• Tommy bar provides torque for larger thread sizes

This industrial die holder goes in the tailstock of the mini lathe, or any other lathe with a 2 Morse taper tailstock. It has a short Morse taper for the mini lathe so you may need to put a ball bearing or such like behind it so it will eject from lathes that expect a standard length taper.

The arbor is made of steel. The body is aluminum for low mass, so it spins easily when you release it. This prevents small parts from twisting off.

This lathe die holder tool does not work with hexagonal dies. Hexagonal dies are not made for creating new threads, they are for maintenance work.
