Hi, I'm in the process of gathering parts for a home built wood lathe. I have a spindle on the way from eBay that takes MT2 centres. I also have a 1.25 hp motor.

I'm trying to source a tailstock instead of making one myself. I ideally want something fairly robust, can take MT2 centres and sits on a flat bed.

I've been searching eBay, adverts.ie etc but anything suitable I find is usually in the states with massive shipping costs or the seller doesn't ship to Ireland at all.

Anyone know where I might source a suitable tailstock for my project?

Thanks.
