:-) That's why the adaptor for the die holder is only attached with grubscrews. Four or five 1/2" holders, one for each tap that I use, then drop in to one adaptor. And the holders are quick to make. (I have some zero rake carbide tipped drill bits. Medium fine brass granules just pour out the flutes of the horizontal drill in a golden river, without any need to back out before it's done. And you can feed at a most gratifying rate.) I'll have to buy some larger brass bar for holders for 8 mm and up, or just use steel, which isn't as much fun.
