My take on the venerable tail-stock tap and die holder for my Sieg SC4.
MT2 with a 20mm guide rod, the sliding body takes 25mm round dies and interchangeable tap chucks I bought as a set that had some crappy ratchets on the end (which got cut off, and then the business end got pressed into som 25mm collars I had turned).
Dies go in one end, taps the other. Dimples in the chuck collars stop the chucks from turning.
Does the job it was made for, so that's a bonus.
