Making a tailstock turret for the lathe (capstan attachment)
In this video I describe how I made a tailstock turret, or capstan, attachment for my manual lathe. This tool allows several cutting tools to be presented to the workpiece in quick succession and is a great timesaver. I upgrade the turret to fit a number of chuck drills.

Hi there, brilliant tool youve made. Am i right in thinking that this tool would only work with your Lathe due to the chuck and tailstock alignment? Im getting into metalwork again after about 22 years so im trying to absorb as much information as possible before i buy myself an old lathe to learn and practice on. Thanks in advance and subscribed :)
Mighti suggest making drill holders made similar but scaled down to those used on screw machines..index..Acme...those float to center the tool and then lock in place two bolts and tool held by bushing
Hai sir good plan and so think casting meterial Drill chak six side in 45digrey and 45 digrey Hols meching Driall chak Lowver Small skills and experience people problems within your company so good sir like in video
Thank you very much !
thank you for sharig this video. ı want to make this turret , would you please send the part drawings for it , thanks🙂
"imagine having to make a hundred or a thousand of these parts" Well 99.9% of people ARE NOT going to be making 1000 or even 100 of any part. So people, instead of going through numerous hours, effort, and work, just keep your tools on a magnetic tray that can be put on your lathe at a convenient location
best of the best‼️
Which one would you choose?
What a great Idea! It makes perfect sense, but *you* figured it out.
Awesome! Question. If you can engineer some body lift into it. Wouldn’t it more likely stay upright at slow speeds?
in theory it might!
Have you seen Pedro from the Netherlands?
I will look him up.

@MetalMachineShop, Excellent video and an amazing build. My question, would you be will to sell the drawings for this attachment?
the drawings need a bit of tidying up, but in principle, yes.
Cool. Let me know when ready so we can discuss further regarding payment etc.
why did u stop tilting trike?
I’ve been working up a Mk II version design but as haven’t had the time to make too much progress. Hoping to get back to it at some point. The first one was ok as a prototype but not really usable as a practical machine.
Does the quenching process warp the cutters?
I’ve not noticed any significant distortion. I think the cutters are chunky enough for it not to be a problem.
Thanks for sharing - appreciated. Cheers sincerely d
If you reduce the exposure a bit when recording your videos will look a bit less blown out, you can adjust for under-exposure, but over-exposure blows the image out irreversably, and it's super easy to over-expose with reflective metal surfaces under bright lighting conditions
Yes you are right, I need to get the user manual out for my camera as I have been struggling with this. Some of the clips are overexposed, it’s annoying!
What if two rigid arms connected the two wheels and each wheel was on a linear guide, like a strut? Or two semi rigid arms that could bend like snowboards, and that would be the suspension?
This might both be suitable options depending on what you are trying to achieve. Worth experimenting!
Great design. A little discussion on how you calculated which of your change gears to use to get various degrees of rotation would be very helpful.
It’s quite a complicated calculation involving trial and error for compound gear trains and depends on the gears you have available. There is a gear train calculator at this link www.amdengineer.com/resources/
Sweet! Looks sort of like a Strandberg 👌
I would love to do this stuff, but it looks like a ton of work
Work is rewarding and good for the soul.

I'm a bit out of my depth here but it seems like there's a good amount of movement when it first engages.
The drills are not always perfectly straight so there can be a bit of movement when they engage. Also there is a bit of rotational play in the tailstock which you may have seen.
Des freins à tambour ! De la haute technologie. Cela me rappelle les années 80. Merci.
At least they are not rim brakes.
I imagine an automatic tool changer would be better tho more expensive. Also, tool clearance and work depth suffer greatly with this configuration, the same as rigidity.
Hugely more expensive!
If that isn’t pure craftsmanship then I don’t know what is
it is pointless in this setup with regular tailstock, you NEED the sliding one to have any good use out of this setup, because you lose everything cranking the thing, and you have no depth stop and no fast retrack, can of course use it without locking the tailstock for some operations, but overall it is pretty pointless so - do yourself a favor and make one if you can't find one from another lathe and adopt it, its dead simple since no high accuracy is required, good to have the accuracy, but not strictly necessary
It would be better to have the lever feed and depth stops, but the turret is an improvement over continuous tool changes at least.
@@MetalMachineShop it is marginal at best, understand that I'm not criticizing your craftsmanship, just that they figured this stuff out many decades ago, hence why it has its own slide I don't have one, since I'm not making hundreds or thousands of same on manual, but what I did though was make all my morse shank ends same length for the HLV-H, I didn't buy them all at same time, so they were a mishmash, same length means they bump out at the same position on quill, saves a little bit of time and most common tools have their dedicated chuks/holders, then 3-4 chucks empty ready to go, that is all thats necessary I also have Casaneuve HBX360 with the quick quill tailstock, that might benefit from something like this because the quill travel is much longer than on normal TS, and it is fast, but still, no point really because the real "capstan slide" will have built in tool change on the back motion they pop up sometimes on industrial auctions or ebay, if I really needed the speed out of manual, that would be the only way to go
What a great job on the trike and the videos. You could be an engineering professor. (Perhaps you are in your other life.) I learned a lot as I consider building a tilting tadpole cargo trike with tandem for me and my disabled daughter. You will fly by us encased in carbon fiber if all goes to plan. Be British now ... stay calm and engineer on. You have a nice community of weird HPV people forming around you. I look forward to your solution of the twitchy steering problem.
Thanks! I think the solution to twitchy steering is a higher overall centre of gravity. I have a second version on the drawing board which addresses this. I’m also thinking more along the lines of a partial fabric covering rather than full carbon fibre. This would in theory reduce drag and also give rain protection. Good luck with your project, hope it goes well.
This kind of tool turret has only been seen on large lathes. It is very practical and well made. It would be great if there is a plan released.
I will see if I can make the plan available.
useless... you can change chucks that fast
You can’t be serious…

That is Epic
Wow awesome creation.
Oh oh ! You said slot drill !!!! That's gonna fry some North American neurons! More than ten years of watching YT I was wondering if I'd just imagined that was the proper name for a two flute milling cutter ! Good on you for using that important nomenclature. Many moons ago I used to work on a Ward 7 Capstan turret lathe that had a flat capstan -your idea is excellent and reminds me of a clever use of a 4th axis+ a tombstone on a CNC mill used to machine more facets than would otherwise be accessible . Love the old lathes but you really deserve a newer one ..... if you can, bigger really really is better !
I’ve always known them as slot drills. I think that is the general term used in the UK at least! The Myford lathe is very user friendly but is not massively rigid and lacks grunt for heavier machining.
You don’t need to drill a pilot hole then drill tapping size literally just drill straight to tapping size
Yes you are probably right. I sometimes find drills drill oversize unless you creep up on it with progressively larger drills.
That is ..... genius!
Clever stuff but have to question the safety aspect of things sticking up in the air. No thanks
Enco made one decades ago many have used them there's also others made similar to that used turrent lathe..for south bend and atlas lathes
The tang on the end of a morse taper is not used to drive it. It's there to enable the drill or reamer to be removed from a drill press or similar machine. I see yours is tapped for a draw bar. I would make a threaded button to fit in it so that the ejector in the tailstock does not damage the end too much. Excellent video.
Good idea
Very nice and clean design
Nicely done. Any chance of print sales for this?
I’ll see if I can make the plans available.
lovely! you could use a tapered detente & pin to guarantee a perfect fit?
How did you attach the No. 2 MT to the chunky metal bracket?
it screws into a threaded hole in the bracket and the nose of the taper was also threaded.
Clever clever man! Love the approach
It’s not my original idea, but it works well!
Great work! Where did you find those stub arbors you put on it?
I got them from Arc Euro Trade in the uk. Online order.
Very nice work, just subscribed. All the best, Neil
Thanks!
