    Hi,

    I recently put together a 4th axis indexer. However I didn’t have a tailstock so bought a secondhand pair of head and tailstock units to adapt the tail. As they are a matching pair and I won’t have to raise the height of my existing 4th axis indexer i'm just wondering now whether I could just adapt this new pair to make the 4th axis and keep the previous 4th axis indexer build for another project.

    I’m just a bit curious about the origin of these stock and particularly wondering what is going on at the rear of the headstock and how to adapt that for a HTD pulley. How was the headstock oringally driven?

    Tail and head looks like they take a MT1 , centre is 4 1/2 inches from base

    thanks
