Tailstock BS-2-TS — Lathe tailstock with 150 mm centre height by Vertex

The Tailstock BS-2-TS is a lathe tailstock designed for BS series lathes, offering a compact footprint and elevated support for shafts and long workpieces in general workshop turning operations

• 150 mm centre height
• Compact 155 x 110 mm base
• Stable 5.3 kg construction
• Suitable for BS lathe models

Improved turning accuracy through stable support

A dedicated tailstock provides a fixed reference point against which a workpiece is supported; the BS-2-TS’s 150 mm centre height ensures alignment with standard lathe centres, minimizing deflection during machining. The combination of a small 155 x 110 mm base and substantial mass contributes to stability without occupying excessive carriage space, enabling more consistent surface finishes and concentricity. For operators seeking measurable improvements in repeatability, this support reduces the influence of spindle runout and workpiece overhang, translating into fewer rework cycles and a steadier production flow.

Reliable workshop integration and operational benefits

The compact design permits straightforward mounting on compatible machines while the 5.3 kg mass adds damping that benefits light to medium turning tasks. Compatibility with BS lathe models means the unit can be integrated into existing set-ups with minimal modification, supporting tasks such as through-turning, facing and support for long shafts. Where concentricity and reduced chatter are priorities, the tailstock delivers a pragmatic upgrade to workshop capability, giving a direct, technical route to improved process reliability and part quality.

Practical considerations for selection and use

The BS-2-TS tailstock is intended as a pragmatic accessory that complements existing lathe tooling and workholding. The compact base footprint simplifies positioning and clamping; centre height specification provides a clear parameter for assessing fit on a given machine. For less experienced staff, the function is straightforward: provide axial support to prevent deflection. For planners and supervisors the asset contributes to a reduction in scrap and rework through enhanced precision and repeatable positioning, yielding efficiency gains across batch processes.
