Thank you for sharing, I recently started using die heads as well. I also found very little information about their use online. I have found that I have the best results when I allow the turret to feed at the pitch of the chasers, It’s nerve racking, but it just works. Also, I use flooding oil, they need tons of oil to work best, it’s also very good for your machine. There are remastered company videos from Geometric that have a wealth of information on here.

That attachment is so cool. Glad you get your hands on one. I’ll check out more videos.❤

I have several of these and have been threading on the turret lathe for many years. If you leave the die head open advance the turret until your desired end of thread clearance is where you want it you should be able to engage the feed lock the turret slide and tighten down the stop until the feed trips out. Now it should be set to stop exactly where you put it. Try it with using a shim for clearance and you will be able to set up the same each time first time! I love how you are able to create and market this product. Well done!

Very cool, thanks!

Very cool machine

I got half a dozen of these at an auction. They are fun to use works great in my jet turret lathe

that is cool.

im a threading specialist from detroit and i recommend that you increase your feeds and speeds to not have the tooling engaged for so long heat is not good for the chasers shoot and scoot.

Hi there, nice video, I'm in the Uk, and I use something similar but smaller than you have, but it does look like your's is a Coventry Die Head, or Alfred Herbert Die Head.(like mine) On mine there are two settings, for a rough cut and a finishing cut, so you might look and see if yours has the same facility. When first engaging with the bar stock, make sure you compress the spings in the head to ensure a good start for your thread, hope you don't mind my imput, I've been using these things for years, take care, Dave

Just purchased a Jones & Lamson 16S threading die head on Ebay,

Thank u for the information i have a turret lathe with 2 geo heads

You lathe Must have enought torque in order to keep that much of power.

Is there a way to install a compound rest on a heavy turret lathe like this?

Great explanation! I understand that the geometric die is easier and faster, but can you also single point thread on this machine, like you would on a regular manual lathe?

Sir I want to training with u
