Something like a boxford headstock would work. Ultimately suitable headstocks depend on how big a bit of metal you want to be able to fit through them. The bigger you'd like, the fewer and more expensive the options.
However, if you design it with a bolt on headstock (which you'll really want anyway for alignment purposes), then swapping at a later date won't be as big of a challenge.Avoiding the rubbish customer service from AluminiumWarehouse since July '13.
