Quite a few pen makers are getting in on the group buy for the 14m tap and die sets. Of those folks, over a dozen so far are opting for the larger 1 1/2" dies and a few have contacted me asking if I would make an adapter like the one I made for myself.
In short, no I don't want to make these since cutting through a 2" aluminum rod with a hack saw isn't a task I wish to repeat several times!
I did however call a local machine shop to see if they were interested and I will meet with them tomorrow for their answer and approximate prices and like anything else the price will depend on quantity made.
My question: If the price was right, would anyone be interested in an adapter to fit into the Little Machine Shop die holder to hold the 1 1/2" die OR.... for those who don't yet have a die holder to fit into their tailstock, buy a die holder that can hold both the 1" and 1 1/2" dies as a set!
If interested please let me know before tomorrow so I can gage some interest before meeting with them.
