Hi,
After looking for help online without success, I'm hoping someone here can educate me on a few things:
(1) I have a m14 die that I purchased from Turners Warehouse, and it is much larger than my other dies. In fact, it does not fit into my 1-inch die holder. Where should I purchase a die holder for this?
(2) Also, can this be used with die guide/holder here?:
Update: I see that I should probably contact Rick for purchasing a larger die holder.
(3) I purchased a tap guide:
but I have no idea how this is supposed to help keep the tap straight. There are no included instructions, pictures/diagrams that I can see. So I have this spring-loaded springy thing, and no idea how to use it on my 2MT woodworking lathe (Turncrafter). Perhaps I need another component?
I purchased this the die holder/guide and the tap guide because my threads weren't straight. I'm hoping this stuff will remedy that...
Thanks in advance for your help!
