The tailstock swinger is an accessory which allows you to "swing" the tailstock out of the way rather then remove it from the lathe. The tailstock weighs approximately 30 Ibs. This may be too heavy to move and can cause serious damage if dropped. Rather than have to muscle it out of the way, simply slide it onto the Tailstock Swinger and "swing" it out of the way. This Tailstock Swinger is designed for the 1640 lathe.

Important Note: This accessory cannot be used when a Multi-Purpose Extension (Part No. 2455 or Part No. H0043)  is attached to the INBOARD end of the lathe.
