In this video I build a tailstock die holder for my lathe.
I built a crude tailstock die holder years ago, but I sold it with my old hercus lathe. I decided it is about time that I replaced it with a newer, better version.
Yes, there are plenty of simpler methods to constrain the part without slotting, I just wanted an excuse to try out the slotter!

I'm still convincing myself that voice overs are a good format, part of me wonders if I just make silent videos with minimal talking. Let me know what you think ⬇

  • I really like the choice of threading options given by the removable key. Great feature! For me I'd say keep the voice over. I like hearing the reasons behind the design choices. If folks want a silent film they can always mute the sound or have another music video running in the background.
  • love it. It reminds me of the old videos. Just the right length, and right to the point .
  • Great build, like the external grip slots 👌. Drunk thread is the term, when its on the squiffy. Thanks for sharing 👍

    Very nice and informative video, thank you.

    Good work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

    Made one years ago, only hand held type. I sure like the keyway, thinking about making a new one.
  • Very nice! The amount of machinery requires to make this little thing is 🤯
  • Nicely done. I'll borrow your design when I get around to making one. Your voiceover style is good.

    Nice to see you back, Tom. And I see you did find a way to quickly fill your scrap bin :)

    Really nice thread guide I do like the removable dog. So well done. Voice over to me is way to go with shop sounds thank God you don't play the stupid music like some guys think they need to have! Keeping it simple to the point and direct is the best way why waste people's time with garbage. Nice video well done Columbus Michigan
