| As you may or may not know, I have just got a lathe, and never having used a lathe before have a question, well several actually, but just for a start. I will be wanting to make my own prop shafts, this will involve threading a 4mm S/Steel rod, so is there a tool that will hold a die square and fit in the tail stock, or how do you go about making sure the die is square to the rod. Over to you lathe men Alan | |

| I dont know what size lathe you have, but just buy one of these , you simply put it in your Tail stock and get a die nut to suite the thread you want to tap, buy a half decent die nut as S/s can be hard to do do not over clamp the nut closed on the first pass, you can get a fluid that helps you tap, I have done far to many to count using this methoud you can turn the head stock by hand untill you get the hang of what you are doing then put it in low gear and blip the start button,and reverse depending on the size of lathe. let me know if you want any other info, by the way a handy dia nut to buy is a 2mm, as you can put a thread on the rudder linkages on both ends keeps them neat http://www.rdgtools.co.uk/acatalog/Tailstock_Die_holders.html Peter | |

| I think you can do this by reversing the chuck jaws and clamping the die in the stepped section.I stand to be corrected . BTW anyone can turn me a crankshaft > | |
