Robust, Tilt-Away for the Sweet Sixteen Lathe

Product Description

While needed for so many operations, tailstocks are often in the way when turning bowls, vessels and boxes. The normal solution: take it off and try to find a clean spot that isn’t also a trip hazard. That's the easy part. Getting a heavy tailstock back on your lathe quickly and safely can be a chore. That's why Robust invented and patented the remarkable Tilt-Away™.

• Tilt-Away™ is a COMPLETE solution that gets the tailstock out of the way, stores it, and quickly repositions it - PLUS gives you added spindle turning capacity.
• The Sweet 16 Tilt-Away is ambidextrous and can be used to place the tailstock to the front or back of the lathe.
• To use it, simply slide the tailstock onto the Tilt-Away and lock it down. Release the Tilt-Away locking lever and tilt the tailstock away from you. Now the tailstock is COMPLETELY out of the way.
• To put your tailstock back in position, simply reverse the procedure.
• PLEASE NOTE: adding the Tilt-Away to the S16 negates easily using the gap section as a bed extension.
