Hello everyone,
I am looking for a 5" tailstock assembly. I have a Jet 1014 that I purchased without a tailstock, intending to use it for making bowls. My daughter is really getting into pen making, and this had lead me to looking for a tailstock, so she can turn pens, and leave my good lathe open for me to use. Does anyone have a talestock from a broken down lathe, or even a connection to a good source, that is cheaper than the $300 Jet is asking? I don't care if it is Jet or not. I have access to a milling machine, and can adjust a tailstock to the correct height. I am happy to trade blanks, or pay cash if you have one. I have honey mesquite burl, and agave bloom, that are both pretty rare and unique.
