    I posted this in another thread some time ago, but this was a somewhat simpler approach I took.

    I got a two piece clamping shaft collar with an ID the same size as my tailstock spindle. Then I made a forked bracket that engaged the shaft collar as shown in the photo. Just slightly loosen the tailstock clamp and let the carriage pull it along at the desired feed rate.
