When I turned the holder more than the chuck, the chuck was stuck to the spindle that I had a hard time getting it off.

Ah. 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.

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

Wong

wongster:
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?
