Tail stock question - cast v's welded
G'day Guys,
I have a query about tail stocks, be it for a wood lathe or metal lathe.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of cast of welded steel?
There are a couple of other questions but may raise as separate posts to deal with each one at a time.
Thanks

Tail stock question - cast v's welded
great food for thought ... it has helped me think out the issue more.
If I can get another carriage for the bars (it is a two round bar bed) I could have a flat machined on the top of the carriage and customise an existing tailstock to suit. By far could be the easiest if I can source another carriage
It is a wood lathe but if I were able to use it for some steel too that would be great
