I didn't think of that. The chuck on my lathe is bolted on, not threaded, so I don't have that problem. :thumbup: |

Wong, if you drill and tap it there is some chance it won't be straight when you mount it on the threaded Morse taper arbor. Dean |

Hi Dean, Would it be straighter if I drill and initiate the tap on the lathe? Wong |

Hi all, Had a little time earlier this evening to spend some time in the shop to complete the Die Holder. The back was drilled and tapped for 3/8"-24 for the MT0 adaptor. I took the easier way out for this die as its OD is different from the set I bought. I may go with the floating die holder next, but that will be after I finished at least 2 brass torches. A couple of pics attached. Thanks for all the help I get. Appreciate them. Regards, Wong |

Nice job, Wong - I'm sure you will find it very useful. In the background of your the photo, is that a chip shield made from locally sourced materials - a bamboo curtain, no less? Andy |
