I've got three geometric die heads that I've picked up. In the videos I've watched most are having the die head pull the tail stock into the carriage to release the dies from the workpiece.
In the videos I've seen the tailstocks are not very big and I'd like to know if anyone is using a die head with a "larger" tailstock. Maybe a MT4 or bigger.
Is a large tailstock too big to be pulled by the threading of the workpiece. I have a Lodge & Shipley 14 x 30 Model X lathe with a MT4 tailstock. At least to me, the tailstock is pretty big. I don't want to damage one of the die heads or the threads. My three geometric (actually Rubometric) die heads are 9/16", 3/4". and 1" D type.
Thanks for any feedback.
