    Small Lathe Tailstock Camlock

    Got tired of tightening that single bolt that clamps the tailstock to the bed of the lathe so I decided to do something about it, nothing fancy or new, just a cam, shoulder bolt, lever, knob and a little machining on the tailstock housing, the photos below shows the general principle.

    Thanks for looking
    Doug
