Hi Guys,

I managed to strip the thread in my cheap Chinese die stock recently, so I decided to make a new one.

I did a drawing to give me something to follow with my new DRO on the mill. I've placed a copy here.

The bits in blue are just in case somebody would like to make one with the corners milled off. The 7 mm holes are for threading M8 for handles to screw into. My existing handles are threaded M8.

I think I'd make the 1" dimension a tad oversize, say by 5 or 10 thou, to give the die room for growth.

Hi, well my commercially made one piece 1" die stock which was my father's, is 1.003" at best and that's always been ok when needed to open a die a little to start a new thread.

Regards Nick.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your posts !

Nobody pointed out that I had forgotten to do the drawing of the fastening/adjusting screw holes and positions

Never thought there was anything special about making a stocks.

Made mine 60 years ago and still going strong.
