That type of tailstock is probably a hammer to crack my nut, but useful to know they are out there (thanks), I'm now thinking about a diy tailstock made from some stepper 90 degree angle mounts (e.g. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4007336227...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT )
The logic of using that stepper mount as the basis for a tailstock, is that centre will exactly marry up with the centre of the stepper shaft (cos the stepper will be mounted on the same type of bracket), therefore screw in HankMcSpank'ed faceplate with bearings in the middle (difficult to explain)..... feed through something like 8mm rod & I should be well on my way to a tailstock with live centre!
