MT-2 Tailstock Turret

Could you not use a #3 to#2 adapter sleeve for it ??
Never used one of those before so I'm curious................................ :grin:
 
Came with my 12” lathe, and yes but the larger holder should have larger turret size.
 
I have never seen a 3MT tailstock turret attachment.

Not common as 1 or 2's, for sure. Enco made very nice ones a long time. Huge number catered to the bench and production lathe shops, running as chuckers, compared to buying a turret lathe suited to bar fed stock.
But #3 ain't the limit.......I have a #4, it's immense, probably 70 pounds. Lol, so many new lathe tailstocks would just tip over or deflect their puny quill. Looks just right on a Pacemaker loaded with center drills, counter sinks and tap driving sleeve........
