MT3 to MT3 adapter?

<< < (2/2)

PekkaNF:
Starting to think that tailstock rebuild would be a better option than an adapter.

Which one gets more votes for movement mecanism:
* Trapetzoidal thread
* Rack and pinion - capstan drive?

The nicest lathe I've ever seen was a Schaublin 125 in our toolroom. It had a 2-speed rach and pinion feed. One was diect from the handwheel to the pinion, the other had some sort of gearing between the two (epicyclic?). I tried to but the lathe when our toolroom closed but I didn't bid quite enough!

Stefan Gotteswinter did a tailstock like that Schaublin...

PekkaNF:
Thank you. That Schablin picture is very inspirational.

Thank you Mark, that link uses the tailstock that  is actually very close the same I have.
