Ok,
There is the very possibility that i will be doing a lot of 1/2-13 threading..and possible that i may do a 3/4-10 or a 7/8-9. since change gears are such a pain in the buttooski, i have been wondering if it would be more prudent to invest in a good used Geometric or Rubometric Die Head or to go with a die holder.. There are two die heads that i have been looking at.. either a actual Geometric or Rubometric die head that can hold the dies for 1/2-13 thread, since this will be done on a 3" shaft. And the other can be done with the lathe, since i have to do both inside and outside threading of the larger thread.. it also will be of a short length.. what say you?
