    Default tailstock and tool post for F&R Tough lathe

    I have a Tough lathe ex-factory missing the tool post and tailstock. I have an MC900 I work on and would like to put the Tough back in working order. It will sit in the corner of the shed for the next 20years gathering dust otherwise. I saved it from scrapping, Australian history when we actually made things!

    There’s an old post with links to “Norm” who apparently has parts for Tough Machinery.
    It May have been in the Metalwork forum on restoring a tough drill press.
    Possibly converting a Tough bench drill to a pedestal.
    Brain a bit slower than the typing.
