| 1206 | Adjustable Tailstock 1" Die Holder | .5 lb. | $60.00 |
The 1" die holder utilizes a split plate design to achieve centering accuracy. A 1" button die is held in the face plate, and shafts held in a chuck or collet in the lathe headstock spindle can be threaded. The tailstock is not tightened to the bed, so the die is free to feed itself onto the part as the part is rotated by hand with the spindle, preferably with the large handwheel from the thread-cutting attachment or the P/N 2049 spindle handwheel. Included is a 13/16" bushing that allows smaller dies of that size to be held as well.
Much like the adjustable live center, holding a die in perfect alignment in the tailstock without some method of adjusting it can be difficult or impossible. To achieve perfect centering, the die is mounted in a front plate. The rear plate has the #0 Morse taper that goes in the tailstock spindle. Slightly oversize holes in the rear plate allow the two plates to be adjusted in relationship to each other so that the die can be brought into perfect alignment with the headstock. This is an economical way to have the accuracy of an adjustable tailstock for those who need it while keeping costs down for those who don't.
