hiya could you tell me what size the tailstock taper is im pretty sure its mt 2 but would sooner check thanks john

I found you can by adaptors to go from 3/410tpi to either 1 by 8tpi or 3/4 16 tpi so shouldn't be to much bother

One other question could the spindle be changed out for something normal or is this not able to happen John

Trying to find a nut that's 3/4 by 10 tpi is a nightmare lol if I can't get sorted soon I'll flog it and buy a new one lol

just rechecked and over an half inch (12.5 mm)measurement with my vernier gauge its showing 6 threads ?? any ideas
