4-station tailstock turret

Thanks, Walkman,

mars-red has a couple videos on youtube showing the construction of a very nice 6-station turret with the same kind of flat design, on about the same scale.

It’s a good choice there, and here because it doesn’t take much extra room lengthwise - my lathe is only something like 5 or 6” between centers. It’s less flexible, too, the ram on mine can retract completely and its front end is very close to the tool shank sockets.

Even with four stations it’s a tight fits for tools, though, and some tools and combinations won’t work at all.
