An unusual patented combination tailstock with screw and lever feeds. The dividing head fastened to the barrel was designed to hold rings that could be indexed round and bored through their edges by a drill held in the headstock chuck. Another use was to sharpen small saw blades by replacing the drill with a grinding wheel. The collet capacity was 5/8" with step chucks available to hold up to 21/2" in diameter.

Lever-action tailstock with an adaptor to take full-size headstock collets

Lever-action tailstock with cross-feed slide. Just visible at the end of the main casting is a dividing plate, designed to assist in off-set drilling, tapping and indexing. The drill was held in the headstock and the workpiece in the 3-jaw chuck on the end of the tailstock barrel.
