Re: Tailstok lower casting
|
Steven, I happen to have a tailstock body without the piston [forgot name]. I will sell for ?$15.00 plus shipping. Suggestion.? You can use the lower part to repair the existing tailstock. The upper body can be used to to do a camlock conversion without risking damaging your existing tailstock, This was a spare for a central machinery 7x10 mini and is red, wilfred ?

Subject: [7x12minilathe] Re: Tailstok lower casting? ? Yours is probably fixable. With a little careful filing, you should be able to make the "V" fit against the "V" on the bed. Once they match, you might need to install a shim between the upper & lower sections to get the height right. You may not need to shim; they're usually a bit high from the factory.
IIRC, there's some info on this in the "files" either here or in the 7x10 group.
