I built one for round and hex dies also. Works as expected.I am thinking of making one of these, any pictures or drawings of the ones you all made?
Things you like or would change now after using it for a while?
Thanks
YouTube creator Halligan142 did a 3-part series on making one of these. It's worth a view, in my opinion. He gives dimensions.
I bought the Neils version and thought it was pretty sloppily made and the design didn’t meet my standards. So I made my own which you can see at this link, along with dimensioned drawings if you want to make your own.With all the threading I've been doing of late, I'm wanting to buy a threading tool for my machines.
Both my lathe tailstock and milling machine are MT2 tapers. I found this one:

I was wondering if anyone else had one of these and your opinion of it.
Any other recommendations would be appreciated too.
