Add precision depth control to your tailstock drilling, reaming, and tapping operations by using your dial indicator to measure tailstock quill travel.

  • Adjustable plunger stop on quill for quick resetting to zero.
  • Designed for most 7x mini lathes and uses standard 2" Indicator with lug back.

These parts are made by Stan Seel in Corpus Christi Texas.

Abigail W. ★★★★★

The prism rail sits perfectly on my mini-lathe’s tailstock, and my dial indicator now reads quill travel to the tenth—reaming depth finally feels repeatable. Took a few minutes to set up, but once it’s locked in, it holds steady through a dozen holes.

Timothy ★★★★★

Used it to set consistent tap depth on six identical brass fittings and the depth stop collar held rock solid each time. The included knob has a nice tactile feel that makes fine adjustments easy. Glad I finally have repeatable control for tailstock work.

Robert B. ★★★★★

The prism rail makes setup on my mini lathe much simpler than using a makeshift jig. I was able to dial in depth for a reaming operation within a few minutes. It’s a solid little kit for the price.
