    Wow brilliantly done mate Regards Richard

    I just took part the one I have which is the live center and see that the parts are the same as adjustable tailstock chuck holder the part which goes into the tailstock has 1/4" holes and the other has 1/8" thread for the Allen screw so do you have a mill you could slot the hole another 3/16" and there you would have your 1/4" just a thought. Regards Richard

    Hi Gary, Have you thought about a adjustable tailstock chuck holders, P/N 1201 live center which I think with adding a spacer you could make it lift up by 1/4" 🤔 Regards Richard
  25. Retired guy
    I see what you mean now just looking at the Sherline website and see Riser plate for 8" Crosslide do see a note Sorry gave you wrong info Be advised that the tailstock will not align with the headstock when using this spacer. Therefore, you will not be able to turn parts between centers. Additionally, some of our other accessories, such as the thread cutting attachment, will also NOT work when you are using this spacer.
  26. Retired guy
    For the head stock you need # P/N 1291 Regards Richard
  27. Retired guy
    The Sherline Lathe tailstock riser block is part # P/N 1292 Regards Richard

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
