anybody know if somebody makes a tailstock center extension?
 
tailstock extension

I have the one from Craft Supply. From the face of the tailstock spindle to the face of the extension is 4 1/4 inches. When using be sure to clean both the inside of the spindle and the taper of the extension EVERY time you use it. Also, depending on the lathe you may get some runout if the tailstock spindle is cranked out to near max.

thanks again and i did note to clean with reaming before and after, good idea
