| Tailstock rack handle position? |

Hi Pekka, Well, the project is still in design stage (meaning that I have too many projects going at the same time so it has to wait for a bit more :palm: ), but is on the ToDo-list. Nice picture, I haven't seen that one before on that size of tailstock. I believe that an Australian machinist presented a solution like that in MEW but for a Unimat size machine. (Thatīs where I got the idea about using a threaded rod instead of a rack). BR /Peter |

Hi Peter, Did you ever finish this? I ask because I am considering something similar for my Colchester Bantam. Probably sized similar to the Shaublin 125 tailstock capstan. Cheers, Wilson. |

Hi Wilson, Its kind of embarrassing to admit that I haven't advanced anything with this so far. Unfortunately my hobby life meanders quite a lot between model railroading, model engineering, gardening and that what takes most of my time and pays my bills - daily work. Even though my work is interesting I wouldn't call it a hobby though .... Anyway, the idea is not forgotten and I think I have a couple of solutions slowly maturing in my head so one day I will make it, and then I will make it so that I can use both the ordinary standard hand wheel and the rack as exchangeable features. So please do not wait for me, have a go at it yourself. It is always very interesting and educational to see others solutions. BR /Peter |

Yes, my work interferes with my hobbies as well... Ce la Vie. If I ever get round to this I will post my solution. These Shaublin guys are nothing if not inventive... http://www.lathes.co.uk/schaublin/page23.html Cheers, Wilson. |
