The tailstock turret is a satisfying and straightforward machining exercise that will give you a handsome and extremely useful lathe accessory. It does not take long to make and the time invested is likely to be paid back by greatly speeding up your work in future. As mentioned at the start, the tailstock turret comes into its own when used with other simple lathe accessories in a production run. This will be the subject of a future article. In the mean time, please feel free to forward any comments to me via my website, Ref. 1, or via the ME forum.
