    tail stock swing

    Does anyone have any info on a tail stock swing or drop down.I have a Craftex CX802 distributed by Busy Bee Tools in Canada. The CX802 is the same lathe as the Laguna 18/47
    The dam thing is getting heavier the older I get

    I have a homemade swing on my PM3520 (similar to JT Turning Tools)

    a friend has the "Tailstock Butler" on his 3520

    we both prefer the swing under - and not the Butler, even though you need room behind the lathe to swing it down.

    I have a 3520b and am very happy with my swing away from JT. I would do it again. Also, great service.

    I have JT's 'Down and Out' on my Jet 1642 and wonder why I waited so long to buy it. Check out his site, he will make them for other lathes too.

    I have a Nova XP. Found a swing away at wood cut tools in New Zealand. Fast shipping and am very pleased.
