Re: 10" tailstock on a 12" Craftsman lathe?
Just took a look at mine. Enco Mfg. Co, Chicago 39 Illinois USA, Serial #97. I've been to Enco a long time ago when they were, I believe on Armitage in Chicago. That's going back at least 40 years.

Re: 10" tailstock on a 12" Craftsman lathe?
Yes, I had one of those. That¡¯s how I happen to know that they take 5/8¡± dia. tooling. I think that they were probably made in Taiwan as I¡¯ve seen them advertised by other than Enco as well.

I'm thinking cut rifling, but button has some advantages, and disadvantages, that differ from those of cut rifling cutters. So I may have to play with both, and see which works better for the things I

Re: Feed rate increase and crazy thread milling, just for fun
Bill, Look where all the gears used to be feeding the gearbox, took "em all off and put the chain/sprocket stuff on. Way cheaper than new gears for kind of a 4 off part! Worked perfect too. I made the
