Gday, this video I build a new floating tailstock die holder, the original one I built back in 2019 dont except the larger dies, unfortunately im running low in material and when I get more stock ill be making more slide sections to take the 2 other size dies I have, I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching, Cheers

    I’m so impressed by the Australian machinists having learned a load of information used in my own shop. You guys rock!
  • @bin_chicken80
    Nice work Matty. It's great to see people like you representing the Australian machinists and sharing your knowledge and experience.Thanks 👍

    Hey Matty, if anyone has anything to say about the material your "wasting", just tell em to send you a blank check and you'll buy the closest sized stock for these projects 😉
  • @dennythomas8887
    Hey Matty it's gotten to the point where all the stuff you build looks as good as or much better than anything you can buy today. This die holder was no different. Excellent work.

    Hey mate very nice... Lovely to see a bit of free hand machining you are a talented operator, looking forward to your next video.
  • @Crewsy
    Anybody that complains about someone else wasting material because they start with too big of a piece probably has never had their own shop. You work with what you have because going out to get the couple 12” lengths you need in the right diameter costs more than the material you’re “wasting”.
  • @jacobpace4716
    You bloody use what ever material you like Matty, And who give's a Jatz Cracker if anyone says otherwise ! great content as usual mate. well done.
  • Another super useful project Mate 👍 I like the way you only put fine tolerances where they’re needed. Love the freehand stuff too 👏👏 Regards Robert
  • @RalfyCustoms
    G'day Matty, bloody great job as always buddy 👍 I truly admire your engineering skills, thanks for sharing
  • @joedowling5452
    I think this new design is going to work out much better for you. I may try my hand at making one soon. I'll need to get creative on the tang and slot as i dont yet have a mill. Thanks for the inspiration.
  • @EverettsWorkshop
    This is one of those pieces of kit that is on the to do list for when time is available, one would certainly be handy. And I have to say that I never get tired of watching you turn up Morse tapers, that sine bar is the cat's meow!
  • @paulcooper2897
    That turned out really nice! A bit of wasted material isn't the end of the world.. still cheaper to use cut-offs from other projects than buying a new piece for everything. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
  • @michaelhorn9267
    real great job. As a mechanical engineer I'm simply in love with blue chips falling off the lathe 🙂Just one little recommendation: instead of making different holders for the several thread cutter inserts I will just make a large one and have adaptor rings covering the different diameter jumps of inserts. Saves a lot of time and of course material. Since you say at the end of the video, that you're short on material, this will be the more economical solution. But once again, real great job !!!!!

    Thanks Matty. I use a al320g but dont have the manual or the threading gears. I use weird die LH threads etc so every time i got a die its a different size. The 40mm dies broke me. That woukd be the 3rd die holder to buy just to hold for 1 use thread. Great idea mate. I dont even need to draw it in my head now you made a bloody nice vidoe on the exact topic. Cheers Matty
  • @DanStone1025
    Nice work once again Matty. Thanks for sharing.
  • @garyc5483
    Great job Matty. I dont like wasting material either. When I made mine I made the slider double ended and with a couple of split adaptors it covers 4 sizes of die. As said elsewhere you might want to put the setscrews in so they line up with the indents in the dies so you can adjust them a little bit. I was a bit lazy and did not bother with the knurl.

  • @doncoyle114
    looks as if you need to change the coolant on the mill, "someone had to say it" 😄Brilliant job, always a look forward to on a Thursday evening.
  • @patrickcolahan7499
    Nice work Matty. Been a while since I was able to tune in. Thanks for sharing. Hope all is well with you and yours.
  • @MyHeap
    Great project Matty. I need to make one of these! Thank you for sharing. Joe
