Is this the best Tailstock Die Holder for the home shop machinist?

In this video I make the Tailstock Die Holder from Hemingway Kits. It's got a very interesting clutch mechanism and in my humble opinion is the best available to the home shop machinist or model engineer interested in making their own shop made tools.
Buy the kit from Hemingway;
www.hemingwaykits.com/acatalog...
I talk about the idea of single point threading away from the chuck which I aspire to learn. @joepie221 has some great content on this, check out his video here;

I demonstrate the use of a Noga reversible countersink tool, a tip I picked up from @Blondihacks , Quinn has some great content geared towards the home shop machinist so be sure to check her channel out.

Nice job. I like to put a 60 degree point on the middle socket head set screw so it will drive into the split in button dies. It allows you to open the die slightly to cut an oversize thread and then retract the screw so the second pass will only remove a small amount of stock.

74 year old retired toolmaker here. I made a holder similar to this one about 57 years ago. It has a recess on both sides for two different size button dies. Anything bigger than 6 mm I would always screwcut. The holder is about 60 mm long with a 12 mm reamed hole in the middle and has a light knurl on the 38 mm OD. It does not have a handle or clutch for safety reasons. I have a 12 mm ejector pin with the head cut off which I clamp in the tailstock drill chuck and the holder will slide along that pin. It works basically the same but my hand is the clutch which is far safer and the whole unit is a breeze to make .

@joneseymakes Жыл бұрын

@terrymoorecnc2500 Жыл бұрын

You'll need a big ball to work it out and face the issue of how to gage from the OD of the ball to the face. Better to machine a plug gage and just extend the cone by plus or minus .005 based on the calculated ID of 1.722" Start with a 1.727 OD, cut the 30 degree from that point back a quarter inch and use it as a gage or just machine the male cones first. If you do make the plug there would be a .0085" range from the plug face that would have you in the tolerance band. The only caveat is that the compound needs to be set accurately on 30 degrees for the math to come out.

I’ve been looking for something like this where someone has modified the original design. I’ve been considering scaling it up a bit for the larger size dies I have. The issue with the smaller size dies is it’s not really too bad to line up and hold under power (at the lowest rpm’s of course) but when it comes to the larger sizes I get a little nervous about holding on to them. This seems like a good base design to scale from. Not to mention great for the intended purpose. Great video my friend. 👍🏻 enjoyed the watch. Becoming quite the fan of your content. 🍻

I made one of these on the weekend. I cut the 4 main parts out of one piece of 2" stock and so was able to cut all 4 tapers in a row without having to move the compound. When using it you need to be REALLY careful as if it locks you can get your hand jammed very easily. I elected not to fit the ball on the end of the handle to make it a bit easier to let go in a hurry. Get the saddle as far away from it as you can so you don't get tangled. It works really well, but I use it with my foot right on the foot brake ready to stop the lathe. Overall an excellent addition to the workshop!

Just found your channel and I am enjoying it! For you 0.014" dimension, the usual way to measure that is a ball dimension--you set up an indicator set zero on the front edge of the part with the cone bore and then put an appropriately sized ball in the cone and measure the height of that beyone that edge. Then a little trig will show that the edge diameter of the cone is E = 2*sqrt( (B-H)*H ) where B is the ball diameter and H is the height of the top of the ball out the cone. You would then take the diameter of the part minus the E sharp edge cone diameter and divide that by 2 to get the edge size. You would need a pretty big ball for this as it must be a good bit larger than the cone opening so it just touches on the edge of the cone. This measurement is how you can measure a countersink diameter so you can look that up for pictures etc. Nice video and nice project!

@joneseymakes Жыл бұрын

Also the alignment of threaded parts "depend" on a shoulder to line up to. So the final assemble should be locking the screew to the shoulder. (The shoulder that was hit when threading.) Keep the videos coming!!🤩

Very nice job. Luckily I have a pulse button on my lathe so by selecting 45 rpm I pulse/powerfeed until close to the shoulder. I manually turn the last few turns. Also for single point turning and longitudinal power feeding I have mounted a movable microswitch to the lathe bed. Once activated it operates an electric air solenoid valve. This then activates a 16mm air cylinder(s) to disengage either the screw half nut or power feed lever. Which cylinder is activated is selectable. I use a regulated/lubricated air source so the stopping distances are extremely consistent. There are a few other features not mentioned. If you are interested I can send details.

When doing an inner taper, you can set on the diameter with a marker pen and making a scratch on the inner edge. Set your zero or diameter at this point, then keep changing the diameter until you get to the number. If it is real important, make a gauge that is basically a male turned cone. You measure the distance on the Z value to the shoulder. Using rollers and knowing the taper, you can either calculate the diameter of the cone to shoulder intersection or draw it with a cad program and then you can know that dimension. You can then calc backwards to the gap needed to get your size. Sometimes to get an accurate size on a taper, instead of changing the cross slide value, it becomes easier to change the carriage position or the Z value to get the final size. A great genuine video.

For threading, I have a VFD on my Myford S7, and use a microswitch , that then turns off the forward direction on the VFD control and activates the programmed brake. Then you have as time as needed to withdraw the tool , and only the reverse direction will work to take the carriage back. For cutting with a centre support, I have a second microswitch , that stops the carriage before it can hit the tailstock or the centre support. The right hand microswitch will turn off the reverse direction on the control, and only the forward direction will be available for activation. It gives plenty of time to add lube and set the next cutting depth. I like to use the partial form threading inserts for the common threads like 1mm pitch for example. I then keep cutting until the diameter is 0.05mm smaller than the nominal diameter. So for 22X1 I would cut the outer diameter to 21.95mm after the thread is finished. I would make the blank at +0.1 so 22.1mm for example.

@joneseymakes Жыл бұрын

Wow, that sounds like an awesome setup on the Myford. Are you using some kind of microcontroller or are the switches wired directly into the VFD?

im honestly curious, why you use the handle/torsion bar to force the dieholder into the part. I have been taught in my apprenticeship (didnt do any lathework since then) to just rest it on the compound, which then does the holding for you. That always worked well for me, whether im doing it under power or not (though ofc under power i stopped short and did the last bit by hand to not crash the thing, as you explained in your initial explanation).

@joneseymakes Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question. I've tried that technique with the import die holder a couple of times but still have trouble getting the thread started, might be a technique failure on my part. You couldn't do that with the Hemingway Kits design as you need to put force on the torsion bar to engage the clutch mechanism, if I rested it on the compound or cross slide it would just sit there free spinning.

You can get a lot of non standard size taps and dies and they are not too expensive. (die holder for 26x1mm & 27x1mm was a bit pricey but less than $75) I doubt it would be worth buying for a 'one off' though Japanese motorcycles often use 22x1mm, 24x1mm plus other non DIN/ ISO / SAE metric fittings. (although thread form is to 1965 ISO specifications, I forget exact spec number) Due to this fact, I have quite a lot of oddball taps and dies

There is a trick you can use to cut a metric thread to a shoulder. It works especially well for lathes that don't have a spindle brake. Engage the thread dial and pick a number on it for your first pass on the work. When the number comes up on the thread dial engage the half-nut. As the threading tool reaches the end of the thread being cut open the half nut and hit the stop switch on the lathe and let it coast to a stop. You will note that the thread dial hasn't moved a whole lot past your number. Back the threading tool out. Reverse the lathe spindle and when the thread dial backs up to your number, re-engage the half-nut and back the carriage up to your starting point. Set the threading tool for the next pass then rinse and repeat>

Nice video, I was wondering how this clutch works, and now it's clear. I was thinking building this kit, but since I only have metric dies, which come in a bunch of different sizes, I was wondering if it would work. Your video kinda answers that. One question: some dies (M3 to M4) are 20x5 mm and others (M4.5 to M6) are 20x7 mm. The diameter is the same but if the die is fully inserted, the grub screw indentations are at different heights. Does your 20 mm recess holder work equally well for both 20x5 and 20x7 mm dies?

@joneseymakes Жыл бұрын

Hi Gene, I've not tried with both 20x7 and 20x7, but I think the best approach would just to make an additional die holder insert. That'll work fine but you'll need a bit of extra stock obviously.

@GenePavlovsky Жыл бұрын

Great video ….. great tool too. The name ‘J.C.Payne’ rings a bell? Isn’t he the guy that invented / sold the Quickstep Milling accessory for lathe toolpost mounting? I understand that design was taken over by Hemingway. I bought one of the original Quickstep units years ago. Still brand new, unused in its box somewhere. I’ll dig it out and check to see if my recollection is correct. Regards Robert Brown, Sydney, Australia.

Nice video and looks like a great tool. I didn’t understand how the clutch disengagement works? I’ll watch that part again but it doesn’t seem to click in my mind. Thanks.

@joneseymakes Жыл бұрын

It's friction based, so when you release the actuator arm (that forces the male and female cones into contact) then the mechanism is able to slip and then free spins. Does that make sense?

@GenePavlovsky Жыл бұрын

@@joneseymakes The question I have is what makes the clutch disengage when the die hits the shoulder? Or is it up to the operator releasing the handle? What if you keep pushing on the handle while running up to the shoulder, will it crash as badly as with a clutch-less dieholder? Or will the cones start slipping regardless? I am just wondering how "foolproof" this tool is.

@joneseymakes Жыл бұрын

@@GenePavlovsky The trick it to hold it fairly lightly as it approaches the shoulder then the clutch will slip as it hits.

HI'i, you used Loctite to keep the die holder in position so it won't lock the clutch cones. Is this not dangerous? If the Loctite fails while the lathe is turning, the clutch cones will lock and the handle will spin around. It's safer to remove some material of one of the clutch cones imo. Some free movement of the clutch cones is allowed in this design. The handle will drive them outwards.. You have made impressive tool, nice job. Looking forward to see more projects.

Hi Michael, if the loctite failed the two end pieces would unscrew therefore releasing the clutch cones and freeing the handle. Thanks for watching!

To measure the tapered bore, you need some gage balls. You drop them into the taper and measure from the end to the top of the ball. With those two numbers and the ball diameters, you can work out the taper angle and the ideal diameter of the bore mouth.

I wouldn't want to rely on lock tight to keep the clutches from locking up ad would probably add a shim to physically limit the cones from getting too close. I could see cutting a heavy thread that would push through the thread lock and lock the clutch tight so that when you are expecting to disengage it doesn't and hopefully just breaks the handle off when it hits the carriage and doesn't take your hand with it. Other than that it looks to be limited to smaller sizes since the through hole is only 5/8 or 16mm so I would want to see it have a larger bore to allow a wider range of thread dies to be used but it looks like a fine design other than those small points.

@joneseymakes 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback. I use locktight 648 and it's held up so far but I see your point. I've used this to cut threads up to 14mm in brass, anything bigger than that I think you'd have a job to hold on to it. Definitely a tool for the smaller threads.
