Reitstock – Tailstock for BS lathes, 107 mm centre height (Vertex)

A Reitstock designed as a tailstock for BS lathes, providing steady axial support for workpieces during turning and light metalworking tasks.

• Compact 134 x 94 mm base footprint
• 107 mm centre height for small lathes
• Robust 4 kg construction for stability
• Designed for BS lathe series

Steady support that improves machining quality

The principal role of a tailstock is to provide axial support and reduce deflection during turning; this results in improved surface finish and tighter tolerances. With a centre height of 107 mm, the support point aligns the workpiece concentric to the spindle axis on many compact and benchtop lathes. By stabilising long or slender components during machining, the support device reduces chatter and repeat operations, which translates into fewer rejects and a more efficient production flow. The function is straightforward but essential: steady support yields consistent results.

Space-saving footprint eases integration into workshops

A base footprint of 134 x 94 mm keeps the unit compact and simple to position on smaller lathe beds where space is at a premium. The modest footprint combined with a robust 4 kg mass helps balance two competing needs: minimal intrusion on the work envelope and sufficient mass for damping vibrations. For workshops that prioritise flexible layout and quick changeovers, the compact design makes the tailstock easy to mount, reposition and store without compromising on the stability required for quality turning operations.

Durable assembly built for routine workshop use

Designed for regular use in machining tasks, the tailstock is engineered to deliver dependable support across a range of routine turning operations. The relatively low weight contributes to handling ease during setup, while the solid build supports ongoing production demands. Integration into existing equipment is simplified by its dedicated fit for the BS lathe series, enabling predictable behaviour in serial or small-batch manufacturing. The result is a pragmatic addition to any workshop seeking consistent, repeatable workholding without unnecessary complexity.

FAQ

Is this tailstock compatible with BS lathes?
The Reitstock is specified for the BS lathe series; compatibility depends on bed width and mounting arrangement—refer to the centre height and base footprint for verification.

What is the centre height and why is it important?
Centre height is 107 mm; it determines how the workpiece axis aligns with the spindle and directly affects concentricity and finish quality during turning.

What mounting space is required on the lathe bed?
The base footprint is 134 x 94 mm; ensure the lathe bed provides sufficient flat area and clearance for secure placement and any required clamps.

How does the tailstock affect machining results?
By providing axial support and damping, the tailstock reduces deflection and vibration, which improves surface finish and dimensional repeatability.

Is the mass of the unit relevant for stability?
At 4 kg, the construction contributes to stability and vibration damping while remaining manageable for positioning and setup.
