This is the one I have and I love it.http://tinyurl.com/5lqwxq
One tip......Figure out a way to turn the lathe, either with a wrench or a handle, turning the die holder is MURDER on your hands and turning it with channel locks just screws up the soft aluminum.:wink:

I bought one from Enco. Works great, but be sure you get one that's going to fit in whatever chuck you have on your tail stock. I didn't double check the one I bought before hitting the checkout button, and ended up with one with a 3/4" shank and a 1/2" through hole. Not a huge problem, and I figured out a solution pretty quickly, but it's something to be aware of.
Also make sure you get the one for the right die diameter - dies come in 13/16 and 1". I have both due the this error.

if you get the one made by "taig" is sits on a 1/2" shaft and has both 1" and 13/16 , also has holes to turn it with a tommy bar
