    4-station tailstock turret

    This is an attachment for the bigger tailstock on my watchmaker lathe. I mostly copied a Schaublin accessory, but added features from a more complete Lorch turret tailstock.

    It just advances by hand but the stop shaft rotates with the turret, and fully retracting the ram disengages the indexing pin which then resets with a spring when it advances.

    The sockets are 1/2”.
