Making A Tailstock Die Holder For The Lathe @artisanmakes

Uploaded July 2022 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago

G'day everyone,

In this video I will be making a tailstock mounted button die holder for the mini lathe. The current one that I have been using for the better part of 3 years is very awkward to use, especially when cutting large threads as it is difficult to grip the tool. So I will make a replacement. I will also show you how to easily cut a morse taper 2 using the compound. I hope you enjoy the video.
