    I missed a snipe, reported in Militaria recently, so I didn’t spend over $100. I had set aside for it. So pretty soon I found a tool item I actually needed. I already have a dividing head but in order to use it on many jobs, a compatible tailstock is needed. Compatible means that it is at, or can be adjusted to the same Center height As the dividing head, in my case 5.375 inches. https://www.ebay.com/itm/193533383280 Yes I’m glad I didn’t win the trench art piece, I would have passed up the nice adjustable tailstock if I’d won the trench art.

    Great price for a tailstock as long as its height is OK for you!
