This industrial die holder can be used in the tailstock of most mini lathes, or any other lathe with a #2 Morse taper tailstock. It has a short Morse taper for the mini lathe so you may need to put a ball bearing or such like behind it so it will eject from lathes that expect a standard-length 2MT taper.

The arbor is made of steel. The body is aluminum for low mass, so it spins easily when you release it. This prevents small parts from twisting off.

This lathe die holder works with ROUND dies. Round dies are for NEW work, while Hexagonal dies are not made for creating new threads, but are for maintenance work.

Hannah ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised at how snugly this die holder seated in my mini lathe's tailstock—no wobble at all during threading. The short Morse taper design is exactly what I needed for smaller workpieces.

Benjamin G. ★★★★★

The #2 Morse taper fit perfectly into my mini lathe's tailstock, making setup quick and easy. The holder feels solid and well-machined, with no wobble during use. Exactly what I needed for my threading projects.

Violet ★★★★★

After fighting with a cheap chuck for months, this holder finally makes threading dies sit true in the tailstock every time. The short Morse taper locks in solid with no wobble, even on my mini lathe at higher RPMs.
