Product Description

A sliding tailstock die holder set for cutting accurately aligned external threads on a lathe using standard round button dies, suited to both hobbyists and professional machinists. The button die holder sits at the front of a knurled sleeve, which slides freely on a fixed arbor attached to the tailstock via an MT3 Morse Taper shank. Three modes of operation cover the full range of jobs: free-hand for smaller threads and threading up to a shoulder, a pegged sleeve to stop rotation on larger dies, or a stop handle that bears against the lathe bed for restrained cutting. The set includes 4 imperial die holders (13/16" to 1-1/2") and 6 metric die holders (16x5mm to 38x14mm), packed together in a fine finished wooden box for storage.
