It is an off set Taper Metal Turning Attachment in 3MT Shank for Off-setting Lathe's Tailstock.

If you do a lot of off set work this may help.  I am thinking of getting it in the future.

What do you think?
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Looks like it has a #3 Morse taper, Arlin...What size does your lathe have? My wood lathes have a #2 in both headstock and tailstock...My metal lathes have #3 Morse in the headstock..

It only helps if you have a carriage to run your tool bits. Then you get a long taper.
You can do the same with a wood lathe by putting a stop on the turning tool and angle the tool rest . much easier

I am not following your direction of thought.  Can you explain it in an easier way for me.
