??? ??? Wow, a separate casting for a limited production accessory! Those were "The Good Old Days!" I

have tinkered with the design of a capstan feed tailstock but with the capability of having a driven spindle

for deep hole drilling. So far just an adapted wood lathe tailstock and parts from an old boat steering rack

and pinion.??? ??? ??? Bill in Boulder CO USA

Atlas made three types of tailstocks for the 10” and 12” lathes.? The standard tailstocks (the ones that came with the lathes) are not interchangeable.? The 12” ones (early and late) are 1.000” taller than the 10” one.? But the 10” and early 12” ones use the same 10D-6 Base.?

?

The other two types are the lever action tailstock and the tailstock turret.? The same one was used on both 10” and early and late 12”.? When installed on a 10” lathe, the base used is the same 10D-6 used under the standard tailstock.? When sold to go onto a 12”, the base used was the L6-6A, which is similar to the 10D-6 but is 2.000” tall where the 10D-6 is 1.000”.? I have the factory drawing on the latter one, although it doesn’t appear that I ever put it into Files.? Let me know if anyone needs it.

?

I have had a search running on eBay for at least 5 years without ever turning one up.? I do have one of them that I found on a turret.?

?

Anyway, the short answer to your question is “no” as previously stated.? The tailstock is correct but you will need a taller base, or a 1.000” riser block.? However, “Lots of them” do NOT come up on eBay.

It will not be vertically aligned with the spindle center. You might be able to machine something to add to the base and raise it up, or just buy the right tailstock. Lots of them come up on eBay.

Will a 10" Atlas / Craftsman tailstock fit on a 12" tailstock base? Is the only difference the thickness of the base?

Amen to that.? On both counts.? :-)
